421. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Justice the number of Afghan citizens resident in Ireland who have received deportation letters in each of the past five years and to date in 2021. [49293/21]
View answerThe following table shows the number of deportation orders issued to Afghan nationals for the past five years. No deportation orders have been issued to Afghan nationals this year.
Furthermore, no existing deportation orders for Afghan nationals will be enforced in the current circumstances. For those with an existing deportation order, they can make a request to me to revoke the order and any such request will be prioritised.
