Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 November 2016
42. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the correct procedure to be followed to regularise the position here in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36614/16]
View answerI refer the Deputy to the Reply given to his recent Parliamentary Question No. 72 of Thursday 10th November 2016. The status of the person concerned is as set out in that reply.
I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order signed on 29 July 2016. This Order requires the person concerned to remove themselves from the State and remain outside the State. The enforcement of the Deportation Order is a matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
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 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.
