The person concerned arrived in the State in September 2009 and made an application for refugee status. The application was refused by the Refugee Applications Commissioner and the applicant was informed of this in January 2010. An appeal was made to the Refugee Appeals Tribunal in February 2010. The appeal, which was heard in July 2010, affirmed the recommendation of the Refugee Applications Commissioner.

The person was invited to make an application for Subsidiary Protection and/or submit representations under section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999. Both of these options were availed of and the matters given full consideration. On 8 August 2011 the person concerned was informed that the application for Subsidiary Protection was unsuccessful. Having considered the representations made under section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999, it was further recommended that a Deportation Order be signed. This was done on 11 August 2011 and issued to the person concerned on 30 August 2011. It was also copied to the legal representative on record. Judicial Review proceedings were initiated on 22 September 2011 seeking to quash both the refusal of Subsidiary Protection and the Deportation Order. As the matter is, therefore, sub judice I do not propose to comment further.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This 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 the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
