Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 July 2016
56. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality to review the residency options in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [21861/16]
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.
Representations were received asking that her Deportation Order be revoked, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 (11) of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended). Following consideration of the information submitted, the Deportation Order was affirmed.
The person concerned has been evading deportation since 21st February, 2012 and, as such, is liable to arrest and detention for the purposes of having the Deportation Order enforced. The person concerned should therefore either comply with the deportation order and leave the State or failing that, 'present' to the Garda National Immigration Bureau without further delay. The enforcement of the deportation order is an operational matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
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 to long awaited.
