Arising from the refusal of his 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 24 November 2008, re-issued on 28 November 2009, that the Minister proposed to make a Deportation Order in respect of him. He 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 a Deportation Order should not be made against him. In addition, he was notified of his 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 in the State in accordance with these Regulations and, following consideration of this application, it was determined that the person concerned was not eligible for subsidiary protection in the State. The person was notified of this decision by letter dated 18 July 2011. The position in the State of the person will now 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. I 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.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy was granted permission to remain in the State on 15 March 2005 under the revised arrangements for the non-EEA parents of children born in Ireland prior to 1 January 2005, commonly known as the IBC/05 Scheme. This permission to remain was renewed in 2007. A decision to grant the person concerned further permission to remain in the State until 16 March 2013 was conveyed in writing to the person concerned on 2 September 2011.
