I refer the Deputy to my Reply to Parliamentary Questions No. 970 and 1090 of Wednesday, 29 September, 2010.

Since my Reply to those Parliamentary Questions, the person concerned was notified, by letter dated 6 October 2010, of his entitlement to apply for Subsidiary Protection within a 15 working day period.

The 15 working day period referred to in my Department's letter of 6 October 2010 expires on 28 October 2010. It is open to the person concerned to make further representations and/or apply for Subsidiary Protection within that period. In any event, the case of the person concerned will not be further processed until the 15 working day period referred to has elapsed. 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.
