It is not the practice to comment in detail on individual asylum applications. As the Deputy will be aware, applications for refugee status in the State are determined by an independent process comprising the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and the Refugee Appeals Tribunal which make recommendations to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform on whether such status should be granted.

A final decision on each application is made following receipt of the recommendation of the Refugee Applications Commissioner or the decision of the Refugee Appeals Tribunal, as appropriate.

With regard to the second named person, in accordance with section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999, the person was informed by letter dated 11 May 2006 of a proposal to make a deportation order and was given the options to be exercised within 15 working days, of leaving the State voluntarily, of consenting to the making of a deportation order or of making representations setting out the reasons why the person concerned should be allowed to remain temporarily in the State. Representations have been submitted on behalf of the person and will be fully considered under section 3(6) of the Immigration Act 1999 and section 5 of the Refugee Act 1996 on the prohibition of refoulement before the file is passed to me for decision.
