Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2021
1094. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice , further to Parliamentary Question No. 475 of 25 May, if special consideration can be given to the health circumstances of an applicant (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30520/21]
View answerThe person referred to by the Deputy is the subject of a Deportation Order made on 1 February 2019. However, the person concerned made a request on 23 October 2020, under section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), to have that Order revoked and this will be considered as soon as possible. The decision will be that the existing Deportation Order will be either ‘affirmed’ or ‘revoked’.
As a person subject to a Deportation Order, they are legally obliged to comply with any reporting obligations placed on them by the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB). They may be directed to attend, either at the Burgh Quay office in Dublin, or at their local Immigration Office, at specified times on specific dates until such time as the deportation process has been completed.
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 (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie) 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.
