The person referred to by the Deputy is the subject of a Deportation Order made on 16 October 2019. Representations were received on behalf of the person concerned requesting that the Deportation Order be revoked, pursuant to the provisions of section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended). All relevant aspects of the case will be considered before a decision is made either to affirm or to revoke the Order. In the meantime, the Order remains valid and in place.
The Domestic Residence and Permissions Division of my Department wrote to the applicant on 14 April 2022 requesting further documentation, which has not yet been received.
An application for a Irish Citizen Child (ICCA) was received from the person concerned on 30 September 2021 and this application continues to be examined by my Department. To be fair to all applicants, applications are dealt with in chronological order.
My Department endeavours to process all applications as quickly as possible. However, processing times may vary due to a number of factors, such as the number of applications on hands, individual circumstances, the complexity of applications, whether further information is required, and the resources available.
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.
