Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 January 2019
104. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if a change of address will be noted in the case of a person (details supplied) with a view to continued assessment of their eligibility for appropriate residency status; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2198/19]
View answerThe new address of the person concerned has been noted on his case file.
Given that the person concerned had no valid basis to remain in the State, he was, by letter dated 20 November 2012, notified that the Minister proposed to make a Deportation Order in respect of him. He was given the options, to be exercised within 15 working days, of leaving the State voluntarily, of consenting to the making of a Deportation Order or of making written representations to the Minister setting out the reasons why he should not have a Deportation Order made against him.
The position in the State of the person concerned will now be decided by reference to the provisions of Section 3 (6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and all other applicable legislation. Any representations submitted will be considered before a final decision is made.
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.
