Bernard Durkan

Question:

579. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if notwithstanding his replies to previous parliamentary questions in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Waterford, if he will examine the details of the decision which forms the basis of his present status in view of the very considerable conflict of conclusions based on information submitted and what appears to be on overemphasis on drawing a negative conclusion when none was obvious having particular regard to the very considerable instability in his homeland at and since the time of decision; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36703/13]

Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

I have outlined the position in replies to previous Parliamentary Questions from the Deputy on this case, the most recent on 9th July, 2013. The situation has not changed. I am satisfied that the person concerned had his application for asylum fairly and comprehensively examined, therefore the decision to make a Deportation Order against him is justified.

As a matter of policy, it would be logistically inconsistent to review a person's case who has failed a very fair and comprehensive asylum process, and who initially evaded his deportation for a number of years.

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.
