Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 October 2012
505. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 177 of 4 October 2012, if his attention has been drawn to the on-going correspondence between his Department and a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46147/12]
View answerI refer the Deputy to my reply below to Parliamentary Question No. 42535 of 4th October, 2012. The position is unchanged since then. There is no record of any added correspondence having being received from the person concerned.
I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy has no application pending for residency. The person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order signed on 30 October 2008, following a comprehensive and thorough examination of his asylum claim and of his application to remain temporarily in the State. He has been evading his deportation since 11 December 2008 and should he come to the notice of the Garda authorities, he would be liable to arrest and detention. He should, therefore, present himself to the Garda National Immigration Bureau without any further delay.
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.
