There is currently no application pending in my Department for residency in the case of the person whose details were supplied. Applications for refugee status in the State are determined by an independent process comprising the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner (ORAC) and the Refugee Appeals Tribunal (RAT) which make recommendations to me on whether such status should be granted. 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 specific cases.

The person concerned has had his temporary permission to remain in the State renewed for a further three year period, to 14th May, 2014. This decision was conveyed in writing to the person concerned by letter dated 30th May, 2011.

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