Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 July 2015
120. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current and-or expected residency status in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 22 and that person's family; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27799/15]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department (INIS) that the persons concerned have applied for and been refused asylum in the State. The family are now the subject of Deportation Orders which were notified to them by separate letters dated 12 September 2011, 23 October 2013 and 24 October 2013.
The persons concerned initiated Judicial Review proceedings on 22 September 2011 challenging, inter alia, the Deportation Orders made in respect of them. As the foregoing matter is sub judice, I therefore do not propose to comment further.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by e-mail 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.
