The Immigration Service of my Department received a proposal under the Irish Refugee Protection Programme Humanitarian Admissions Programme (known as IHAP) from the person referred to by the Deputy on 30 June 2018.

The person concerned was informed, in letters dated 11 December 2018 and 22 January 2019, that the proposal could not be accepted for reasons outlined at that time, namely that the subjects of the proposal did not meet the eligibility criteria as set out in the Eligible Categories of Beneficiaries for the IHAP programme. Further letters of clarification issued to the person concerned regarding the decision on 20 March 2019 and 2 October 2020.

Information on the eligibility conditions of the IHAP are available on the Immigration Service website at: www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/irish-refugee-protection-programme-humanitarian-admission-programme-2-(ihap).
