Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 July 2020
953. Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when a decision will be made on the residency status of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15728/20]
View answerI can confirm that Deportation Orders were signed in respect of the persons concerned and they were removed from the State in 2012.
On 9 August 2018, representations were received from the persons concerned pursuant to Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act, 1999, (as amended) seeking to revoke the Deportation Orders. These representations were fully considered and the earlier decision to make Deportation Orders remains unchanged.
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.
