The person concerned arrived in the State on 23 April 2003 and claimed asylum. Her application was refused following consideration of her case by the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and, on appeal, the Refugee Appeals Tribunal. Subsequently, following the consideration of her case under Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended), a Deportation Order was signed in respect of the person concerned on 27 October 2004.

Judicial Review Proceedings challenging the Deportation Order were instituted by the person concerned on 8 October 2005. These Proceedings were heard on 1 and 2 March 2007. The application for leave to apply for judicial review was refused. The person concerned did not appeal the Judgment of the High Court and on 23 March 2007 the Judicial Review Proceedings were struck out with costs awarded to the Minister.

Fresh representations have been received on behalf of the person concerned and these representations will be fully considered before the file is passed to me for decision.
