There is currently no application pending in my Department for residency in the case of the persons whose details were supplied. If an application for asylum has been made by the person concerned the Deputy will of course be aware that it is not the practice to comment on asylum applications that are pending.

Officials in the Long Term Residency Section of my Department inform me that having checked their records, no trace of an application for Long Term Residency for the person referred to in the Deputy's Question can be found. A letter was issued to the person in question on 5/1/2011 informing her of this and also the criteria necessary to enable her apply for Long Term Residency.

Arising from the refusal of her asylum application, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), the person concerned was notified, by letter dated 10th July, 2007, that the Minister proposed to make a Deportation Order in respect of her. She was given the options, to be exercised within 15 working days, of leaving the State voluntarily, of consenting to the making of a Deportation Order or of making representations to the Minister setting out the reasons why she should not have a Deportation Order made against her. She was also notified of her entitlement to apply for Subsidiary Protection in accordance with the European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations 2006.

The person concerned submitted an application for Subsidiary Protection and, following consideration of this application, it was determined that she was not eligible for Subsidiary Protection. The person concerned was notified of this decision by letter dated 25th April, 2008.

The position in the State of the person concerned now falls to be decided by reference to the provisions of Section 3 (6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and Section 5 of the Refugee Act 1996 (as amended) on the prohibition of refoulement. All representations submitted will be considered before the file is passed to me for decision. Once a decision has been made, this decision and the consequences of the decision will be conveyed in writing to the person concerned.

The further information provided by the Deputy has enabled officials in the Citizenship Division of my Department to identify a match with an application received in 2003. While neither the name nor the reference number exactly match the details provided by the Deputy, my officials are satisfied that the file relates to the person referred to in the Deputy's question. Following assessment of this application, it was deemed ineligible as the conditions for naturalisation were not satisfied. A letter informing the applicant of this decision was issued in April 2005 and the file was closed.
