The Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) has no record of an application for permission to remain in the State in respect of the person concerned. I should add that INIS has no record of any visa application to enter the State in respect of the person concerned. Accordingly, as the person concerned is illegally in the State, INIS will be in contact with him, through his family members, regarding his future status in the State in the very near future.

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. 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 INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.

The person concerned arrived in the State on 13 August 2003 and made an application for asylum on 14 August 2003. The Refugee Applications Commissioner refused him a declaration of refugee status by letter dated 9 February 2005. Judicial Review proceedings were lodged challenging, inter alia, the age assessment. By letter dated 9 February 2006 the person concerned was invited to make a new application for asylum. The person made a new application for asylum on 15 February 2006. The Refugee Applications Commissioner refused him a declaration of refugee status by letter dated 24 May 2006. This decision was subsequently upheld by the Refugee Appeals Tribunal and this was notified to the person on 23 April 2009.

On 27 May 2009 the person was informed that it was proposed to make a Deportation Order in his case and he was invited to apply for Subsidiary Protection and to make representations under section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999. Having considered the Subsidiary Protection application and the representations, a Deportation Order was signed on 3 June 2010. The person was notified by letter dated 10 June 2010. The person concerned instituted Judicial Review proceedings on 24 June 2010 challenging the Deportation Order made in respect of him and accordingly, as the matter is sub judice, I do not propose to comment further.
