The person concerned claimed asylum in the State on 27/09/2007 and had her claim examined by the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and the Refugee Appeals Tribunal, following which it was recommended that she should be recognised as a refugee.
Based on this recommendation, the person concerned was issued with a formal declaration of refugee status by letter dated 24/11/2008. This communication also advised the person concerned of the rights and entitlements accompanying refugee status in the State. The person concerned continues to hold the status of refugee in the State.
