I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that, following the refusal of their asylum claim, the person concerned proceeded to lodge an application for subsidiary protection. I am also advised that this subsidiary protection application was formally withdrawn on 8th December, 2014. The case file of the person concerned was then passed to the INIS' Ministerial Decisions Unit for the purposes of having a 'three options letter' issued. Upon receipt of the three options letter, it will be open to the person concerned to submit written representations in support of their case to remain in the State.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the 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 the INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
