Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

I am advised by INIS that records are not maintained in a manner such as would allow the numbers of deportation orders made in respect of third country national persons who have served a prison sentence in this State to be dis-aggregated from all deportation orders made. However, I can say that in total over 1,700 Deportation Orders and 160 Removal Orders were made last year.
