In reply to the Deputy's question, following the refusal of this individual's application for a declaration as a refugee, he made an application for subsidiary protection. This was considered and refused.

His case was then examined under the provisions of Section 3 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 by or on behalf of the individual concerned were considered in full. Following consideration of those representations, a Deportation Order was made against the individual concerned. A copy of the decision, together with the detailed submissions made under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) were issued to the individual concerned and copied to his legal representative.

The Deportation Order required the individual to remove himself from the State by 28 October 2011 and remain thereafter outside the State. The individual in question has not yet removed himself from the State and must therefore present himself to the Garda National Immigration Bureau to facilitate his removal.

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 information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
