Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 January 2017
52. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the extent to which submissions have been made in response to a proposal to deport in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2247/17]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is the subject of a proposal to make a Removal Order and Exclusion Order under Regulation 20 and 23 of the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015.
Representations were received from the person's legal representative pursuant to the European Communities (Free Movements of Persons) Regulations 2015. This application is under consideration at present. When a decision is arrived at, the person concerned will be notified in writing.
The Deputy may wish to note 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 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.
