Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 June 2020
298. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding the request to set aside a deportation order in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13025/20]
View answerThe person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order signed on 01 February 2019.
Representations, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), have been received on behalf of the person requesting that the Deportation Order be revoked.
This request will be considered as soon as possible and a decision will then be made to either "affirm" or "revoke" the existing Deportation Order. This decision will be communicated in writing. 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 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 is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
