Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 November 2015
146. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the status of the residency, long-term residency and eligibility for naturalisation of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41066/15]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to is the subject of a Deportation Order signed on 18 November 2009 and therefore has no entitlement to residency in the State.
The effect of the Deportation Order is that the person concerned must leave the State and remain thereafter outside the State.
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.
