As the Deputy is aware, it is not the practice to comment on individual asylum applications. Generally speaking, it is open to any applicant to submit pertinent information or evidence in support of their asylum application to the relevant statutory authority. In this regard, it should be noted that Section 11 C (2) of the Refugee Act 1996 (as amended) provides that an applicant shall furnish to the Refugee Applications Commissioner or the Refugee Appeals Tribunal, as may be appropriate, as soon as reasonably practicable, all information in his or her possession, control or procurement, relevant to his or her application.
