Further to your Parliamentary Question No. 246, the person concerned arrived in the State on 10 March 2004 and applied for asylum on 11 March 2004. The Refugee Applications Commissioner refused her a declaration of refugee status. This decision was subsequently upheld by the Refugee Appeals Tribunal. A Deportation Order was made in respect of her on 20 April 2010.

The person concerned instituted Judicial Review proceedings on 18 May 2010 challenging the Deportation Order made in respect of her and accordingly, as the matter is sub judice, I do not propose to comment further.

I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
