I propose to take Questions Nos. 253 and 254 together.

I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that an application under this scheme was received from the person referred to by the Deputy. The person has been advised by my Department that they are not eligible for consideration under this particular scheme and have recently written to her in this regard. Her passport and supporting documentation have also been returned. I have also been informed that my officials have advised the person in question that she may qualify under the new provisions for non-EEA workers who are made redundant and have advised her of the conditions that apply under that scheme.
