The person concerned applied for asylum on 29 December 2004 on her own behalf and on behalf of her three children. A further child, born in the State in mid-2005, was subsequently included in her mother's asylum application. The asylum application was refused following consideration of the case by the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and, on appeal, the Refugee Appeals Tribunal.

Subsequently, in accordance with Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended), the person concerned was informed, by letter dated 30 June 2008, that the Minister proposed to make Deportation Orders in respect of her and her children. She was given the options, to be exercised within 15 working days, of leaving the State voluntarily, of consenting to the making of Deportation Orders or of making representations to the Minister setting out the reasons why she and her children should be allowed to remain temporarily in the State. In addition, she was notified of her entitlement to apply for Subsidiary Protection in the State in accordance with the European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations, 2006 (S.I. No. 518 of 2006). The person concerned did not submit an application for Subsidiary Protection in the State.

The case file of the person concerned, including all representations submitted, now falls to be considered in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(6) of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended) and Section 5 of the Refugee Act, 1996 (as amended) on the prohibition of refoulement. When this consideration has been completed, the file is passed to me for decision.

The person concerned was granted Leave to Remain in the State for a one year period, to 30 April 2008. This permission to remain in the State was subsequently extended for a further one year period, to 11 March 2009.

The person concerned is required to apply at least one month before the end of this expiry period if he wishes to renew this permission. My Department has no record of any such application having been received to date.
