The person concerned has been granted leave to remain in the State for a three year period, to 20 August 2011. This decision was conveyed in writing to the person concerned by letter dated 20 August 2008 (re-issued on 6 August 2009).

The Deputy might wish to note that the position in the State of the person concerned is not such as would enable her to make an application for family reunification. Access to family reunification is confined to persons recognised as refugees or with subsidiary protection status.
