Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 October 2013
189. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress to date in the evaluation of the case for regularisation of residency status/eligibility for naturalisation and/or the procedures yet to be followed in this regard in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41743/13]
View answerThe person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order and is therefore illegally present in the State. She has been evading her Deportation since 21 February, 2012. I refer the Deputy to my reply to a previous Parliamentary Question No. 37205/13 of the 18th September, 2013. The position remains unchanged. I have previously conveyed to the Deputy, as a matter of policy, I do not intend to reward persons who have failed a very fair, thorough and comprehensive asylum process, and who have then proceeded to evade their deportation.
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.
