To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality in the wake of the unanimous judgement by the Supreme Court in a case (details supplied) regarding an application by a Syrian national for naturalisation and where it was found that he had failed to give reasons for refusal to grant a naturalisation certificate, his views on whether there is the same obligation on him to provide a reason or reasons for the refusal to grant asylum to asylum seekers; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I can inform the Deputy that, insofar as asylum seekers are concerned, the Refugee Act 1996 provides that the reports of both the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and the Refugee Appeals Tribunal are transmitted directly to the asylum seeker and their solicitor following a refusal to grant asylum.
