Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 April 2014
138. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding temporary or long-term residency in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 11; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17215/14]
View answerI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to is the subject of a Deportation Order so therefore has no right to residency/naturalisation in the State. The Deportation Order was made following a comprehensive and thorough examination of her asylum claim and temporary leave to remain in the State. The enforcement of the Deportation Order is an operational matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by Email 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.
