I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 567 of 30 April, 2014 which is set out below. The position is unchanged since then:

I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the parents of the person concerned were granted permission to remain in the State in 2001 under the arrangements then in place for the non-EEA national parents of Irish born citizen children. The person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State for one year, on a stamp 4 basis on 23 January, 2014 by the relevant officials in the INIS. This positive decision was communicated to her by letter issued by registered post on 23 January, 2014. I have been informed by the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB), that the person concerned belatedly presented to GNIB for registration on 15 April, 2014. Officials in the Citizenship Division of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) inform me that there is no record of an application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person concerned.

595. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the current residency status-eligibility for stamp 4/naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32588/14]

As the deputy is aware, 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 residency status or entitlement to naturalisation does not arise at this time in the case of the person whose details were supplied.

The person concerned arrived in the State on 5 December 2007, and applied for asylum. Following due consideration, his asylum application was refused, and he was notified of this refusal on 28 September 2009. The person concerned submitted an application for Subsidiary Protection pursuant to the European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations, 2006 S.I. No. 518 of 2006 ('The Regulations'), together with written representations against the making of a Deportation Order in his case, on 19 October 2009. The person concerned was notified on 11 April 2011 that his application for Subsidiary Protection had been refused. Further, the person concerned was notified on 9 June 2011 that a Deportation Order had been signed in respect of him on 25 May 2011. Judicial Review proceedings challenging these decisions were instituted on 6 July 2011 and are still ongoing. In the circumstances, as the matter is sub judice, I do not propose to comment further.

I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
