I refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Questions No. 347 of 18 November, 2008, No. 365 of 9 June 2009, No. 510 of 7 July 2009, No. 291 of 7 October 2009, No. 191 of 17 December 2009, No 597 of 20 April 2010, No. 139 of 27 May 2010, No 174 of 24 June and No. 988 of 29 September 2010. The status of the person concerned and the handling of their asylum application is as set out in the replies to those questions.

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.

The Reception and Integration Agency (RIA) is responsible for the accommodation of asylum seekers in accordance with the Government policy of direct provision and dispersal. The person referred to in the Deputy's question is not currently residing in RIA accommodation. If this person wishes to avail of direct provision accommodation, he should apply in writing to RIA, PO Box 11487, Dublin 2, giving contact details including current address. His application will be considered and an accommodation offer will issue to him in due course. Any accommodation offer will be dependent on the bed spaces available to RIA and the demand for such spaces across its portfolio at that time.
