The person in question had her refugee status revoked on the 26 November 2009. She was informed of my decision to revoke her refugee status by letter dated 4 December 2009. She was also informed of her right to appeal this decision to the High Court within 15 working days of the date of that letter.

To date, no notification of an appeal has been received by the Ministerial Decisions Unit of my Department. In accordance with normal procedures, a letter was issued on 15 January 2010 formally advising her of the following options. 1. Return home voluntarily 2. Consent to the making of a deportation order, or 3. Make written representations to me within 15 working days for temporary leave to remain in the State and/or make an application for subsidiary protection under the European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations 2006 (S. I. No. 518 of 2006). My Department currently awaits a response from the person concerned.
