As conveyed to the Deputy in a previous Parliamentary Question Number 108 of 14th March 2013 the person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order signed on 17 January, 2013. The Deportation Order was signed following a comprehensive and thorough examination of his asylum application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), and Section 5 of the Refugee Act 1996, (as amended) on the prohibition of refoulement.

I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department that representations were received from the person's legal representative requesting that the Deportation Order be revoked in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended). This application is being considered. The effect of Deportation Orders is that the persons concerned must leave the state and remain thereafter outside the State. The enforcement of Deportation Orders is an operational matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau.

Queries in relation in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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.
