Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 December 2014
130. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will review the case of a person (details supplied) in County Waterford in view of the length of time that has elapsed since the making of their deportation order; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46671/14]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that Judicial Review proceedings were instigated on 28 March 2012 by the person referred to by the Deputy. These proceedings challenge, among other things, the Deportation Order to which the Deputy refers and accordingly, as the matter is sub judice, I am precluded from further commenting on the matter.
I should remind the Deputy that queries on the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by email using the Oireachtas Mail facility. In appropriate cases the facility enables the release of up-to-date information without the need to engage the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
