An application for long-term residency by the person referred to by the Deputy was made on 22 September last year. Officials have advised me that applications from September 2007 are currently being dealt with. In the interest of fairness, applications are processed in chronological order. As soon as a decision is made on the case, the person concerned will be notified.

I refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Question No. 345 of Wednesday, 6 May 2009, and the written Reply to that Question.

In the meantime, the person concerned has submitted an application for Subsidiary Protection in the State and an application for Leave to Remain in the State. The Subsidiary Protection application will be considered first, following which the person concerned will be notified in writing of the outcome.

In the event that the Subsidiary Protection application is refused, the case file of the person concerned, including all representations submitted, will then be 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. When this latter consideration has been completed, the case file is passed to me for decision.
