The Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) informs me that the person in question was refused refugee status following appeal in 2005 and is therefore not entitled to be issued with an Irish travel document.

In all cases, INIS must be satisfied that there is no alternative open to an Irish temporary travel document applicant preventing them from procuring their own national passport or travel document before an Irish temporary travel document will issue.

As the person in question is a Cameroonian national it is advised that they should seek consular assistance from their own national authorities and contact the Embassy of Cameroon, 84 Holland Park, London W11 3SB, England with a view to obtaining their national passport or travel document.
