The person concerned was refused refugee status in the State following consideration of his case by the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner. He made subsequent applications for both Subsidiary Protection and Leave To Remain which were unsuccessful, having taken into account all representations received on his behalf. On 7 November, 2008 a Deportation Order was made in respect of the applicant. As the Deputy is aware, the applicant has exhausted the asylum process. However, the applicant may apply in writing to my Department's Ministerial Decisions Unit, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2, to be re admitted to the asylum process under Section 17 (7) of the Refugee Act, 1996 (as amended), setting out the reasons as to why he should be re- admitted to the asylum process. However, such applications are not suspensive of a Deportation Order.
