The person concerned arrived in the State on 25 September 2007 and applied for asylum. The Refugee Applications Commissioner refused him a declaration of refugee status. This decision was subsequently upheld by the Refugee Appeals Tribunal. On 18 November 2010 it was determined that he was not eligible for Subsidiary Protection and a Deportation Order was made in respect of him on 24 November 2010.

The person concerned instituted Judicial Review proceedings on 14 February 2011 challenging the Subsidiary Protection refusal and the Deportation Order made in respect of him and accordingly, as the matter is sub judice, I do not propose to comment further.

I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by e-mail 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.
