I refer the Deputy to my detailed Reply to his earlier Parliamentary Question, No. 102 of Thursday, 14 May, 2009, in this matter. The up to date position is that the application for Subsidiary Protection in the State submitted by the person concerned is under consideration at present. When consideration of this application has been completed, the person concerned will be notified in writing of the outcome.

In the event that the application for Subsidiary Protection is refused, the position in the State of the person concerned will then be decided by reference to 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. All representations submitted will be considered before the file is passed to me for decision. Once a decision has been made, this decision and the consequences of the decision will be conveyed in writing to the person concerned. The Deputy might wish to note that my Department has no record of the daughter of the person concerned having entered the State.
