The persons concerned are a family unit made up of a father, mother and their three children. The father's case has been dealt with in isolation while the children's' cases were attached to their mother's case, meaning that any decision made in relation to her applied equally to them.

The case of the father has been finalised. He is not the subject of a Deportation Order nor has he an outstanding Subsidiary Protection application. His Subsidiary Protection application has been decided and the decision notified to him by letter dated 14th February, 2011. While the Subsidiary Protection application had a negative outcome, the man in question has been granted permission to remain in the State for a three year period, valid to 15th February, 2014. This decision was notified to him by letter dated 15th February, 2011.

The cases of the other family members are the subject of judicial review proceedings and as these proceedings are ongoing, it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on those cases at this time.
