536. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will indicate notwithstanding his reply to a previous parliamentary question in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Monaghan; if consideration is likely on humanitarian or compassionate grounds in view of their medical history and evidence submitted regarding their attendance at Louth County Hospital, Dundalk, coloscopy clinic and Beaumount Hospital; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As stated in response to Parliamentary Question No. 146 of 10 April, 2014, if the person has made an application for asylum or subsidiary protection, the position is that it is not the practice to comment on such applications for so long as they are in the protection process. The question of leave to remain in the State on humanitarian or compassionate grounds, where such persons fail to secure protection status, would be a matter to be considered under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 in due course.
