I refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Question No. 244 of 30 September 2010 which outlines the current position surrounding the possible issue of an Irish Travel Document to the person concerned. The lack of recognition afforded by the French authorities to the Togolese travel document, held by the person in question, is a matter for the consular authorities of his own country to address and should be taken up directly with them.

I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may be made direct 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.
