Bernard Durkan

Question:

395. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 175 of 20 June 2013, wherein it was indicated that a fair and comprehensive asylum process had occurred, if cognisance has been taken of the relevant court judgment in the case of a person (details supplied) wherein considerable doubt was cast over the original decision to deport due to the subjective nature of the conclusions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44198/13]

Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that there has been no court judgment in relation to the person concerned therefore it is unclear what judgement the Deputy is referring to. The Deputy is aware that this person is the subject of a Deportation Order which he has continued to evade since 3 November 2009. He should present himself to the Garda National Immigration Bureau without 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.
