Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 May 2014
317. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if a deportation order will be reviewed in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20027/14]
View answerI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that following a comprehensive and thorough examination of the asylum claim and application for subsidiary protection, and a detailed examination of the representations he submitted for consideration under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), a Deportation Order was signed on 29 July 2011 in respect of the person referred to by the Deputy. The person concerned initiated judicial review proceedings challenging the Deportation Order made in respect of him. Those proceedings were struck out in favour of the Department on 7 February 2013 and accordingly, the Deportation Order stands.
Representations were received from the person concerned asking that his Deportation Order be revoked. This application is under consideration at present. When a decision has been made on that application the outcome of that decision will be conveyed in writing to the person concerned.
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.
