Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 September 2012
165. Deputy Paschal Donohoe asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the reason a passport was taken from a person (details supplied) at Dublin Airport in 2006; if the passport will be returned; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39950/12]
View answerI am advised by the Garda authorities that the documents presented to the immigration officer by the person referred to by the Deputy were confiscated on suspicion of breaches of Immigration Law. These documents are now no longer valid and will not be returned. The person's case is currently under active consideration by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service in the context of his immigration status.
