290. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality further Parlaimentary Question No. 420 of 24 September 2013, in the case of a person (details supplied) wherein the fairness of the procedures followed in his case was again affirmed notwithstanding the serious allegations raised by legal counsel on their behalf in the course of appeal to the Refugee Appeals Tribunal of the subjectivity of issues raised and conclusions reached, the obvious inference in respect of natural justice and due process, if it is a cause for concern that the original deciding officer in respect of the application for asylum in this particular case was never known to have made a single decision in favour of an applicant despite having examined more than 1,500 cases; if he will therefore review the entire case and revoke the previous decision; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43628/13]

Following a routine review of the case of the person concerned, the Deportation Order made in respect of him has been revoked. This position has been communicated to the person concerned. In conjunction with that revocation decision, the person concerned has been granted permission to remain in the State for a three year period.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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.
