Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 February 2013
53. Deputy John Halligan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will revoke the deportation order in respect of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 22; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5663/13]
View answerThe person concerned is a failed asylum applicant. A subsequent application for Subsidiary Protection was also refused and a Deportation Order was made in respect of the person concerned on 3rd October, 2011. This Order was served by registered post dated 11th October, 2011 which placed a legal obligation on the person concerned to leave the State and to remain out of the State.
Further representations were submitted by and on behalf of the person concerned, requesting that his Deportation Order be revoked. These representations are under consideration at present. Once a decision has been taken i.e. to 'revoke' or to 'affirm' the Deportation Order, this decision will be conveyed in writing to the person concerned.
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.
