I refer the Deputy to his earlier Parliamentary Question No. 146 of Thursday, 21 May 2009, and the written Reply to that Question.

As I advised the Deputy in my earlier Reply, the position in the State of the person concerned now falls to 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.
