Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 October 2015
407. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current status regarding residency status and eligibility for naturalisation of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 22; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36054/15]
View answerI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to is the subject of a Deportation Order made on 2nd July 2012 and therefore has no entitlement to residency in the State. Judicial Review proceedings were issued on 26th July 2012 challenging the Deportation Order and accordingly, as the matter is sub judice do not propose to comment further.
I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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 through the more expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
