The immigration case of the person concerned was finalised by my Department on 29 October 2019. Leave to remain in the State was refused and a Deportation Order was made. That Order was served on the person concerned by registered post dated 10 January 2020, and was sent to their last notified address. This communication was also copied to their legal representative on the same date.
The Deportation Order remains valid and in place and, as such, the person concerned remains legally obliged to comply with any reporting requirements placed on them by the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB).
It is open to any person subject to a Deportation Order to make a request, under section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), to have that Order revoked. The request would need to be founded on some material change in the person’s circumstances which has arisen since the original decision to deport was made. Where such a request is made, the outcome of that request will be that the existing Deportation Order will either be 'affirmed' or 'revoked'.
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.
