Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 March 2015
423. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding residency in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [11106/15]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to is the subject of a Deportation Order and therefore has no entitlement to residency in the State.
The person concerned initiated Judicial Review proceedings challenging the decision of a 17 (7) application which is an application to make a new asylum claim under section 17 (7) of the Refugee Act 1996. Following the outcome of these proceedings, the 17 (7) application will be reconsidered. In the meantime, the Deportation Order remains valid and in place.
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.
