I wish to inform the Deputy that in accordance with the European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations, 2006 (S.I. No. 518 of 2006) a person must have been refused a declaration as a refugee in order to be eligible to apply for Subsidiary Protection. One application has been received from a person who is not a failed refugee. This application is currently the subject of legal proceedings.
