Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 July 2017
145. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the timeframe he expects information submitted in the case of a person (details supplied) to be examined in the context of their appeal against deportation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32051/17]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order made on 3 February 2010.
An application for consent to make a subsequent application for International Protection under Section 22 of the International Protection Act 2015 was received by the International Protection Office and is currently being processed. In the meantime, the Deportation Order remains valid and in place.
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.
