Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2015
552. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality to set out the current or expected residency status in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Laois; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [21695/15]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order that was signed on 5 November 2013 and the applicant was notified by letter dated 14 November 2013.
The person concerned has ongoing Judicial Review proceedings seeking to quash the Deportation Order made against the applicant. As the foregoing matters are sub judice, I am precluded from commenting further.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS of my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The 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 in cases where the response from the INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
