Further to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 155 of 12 March 2009, the response received from the person concerned referred to in that reply has been assessed by the relevant officials. The application of the person concerned for permission to remain as the dependant family member of a person granted permission under the IBC/05 Scheme has been refused, as the person does not meet the criteria of the Scheme. The person concerned has been informed of this decision by letter dated 18 March 2009.

The person concerned applied for asylum on 25 November 2004. His application was refused following consideration of his 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 24 January 2006, that the Minister proposed to make a Deportation Order in respect of him. He 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 to the Minister setting out the reasons why he should be allowed to remain temporarily in the State.

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