Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 October 2019
148. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the procedure to be followed in order to facilitate temporary, long-term, residency and naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41534/19]
View answerI am advised by the Immigration Service of my Department that the person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order signed on 18 November 2009. This Order requires the person 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.
Representations were received from the person concerned, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), requesting that the Deportation Order be revoked. Following the detailed consideration of the information submitted in support of the request, the Deportation Order was affirmed and this was notified to the person concerned by letter dated 19 September 2018.
I am advised that there are no outstanding applications or appeals for this applicant.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the Immigration Service 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 Immigration Service is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
