View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 148 and 149 together.
I can advise the Deputy that when issued with a deportation order, the person concerned is required to remove themselves from the State. Many people comply with this and leave the country, without notifying the immigration authorities that they have done so. However where a person does not voluntarily return to their own country, Ireland like all other EU Member States, puts in place arrangements to return people to their home country.
The table below contains the statistics requested by the Deputy.

It should be noted that a Deportation Order (DO) effected in any year may relate to a DO issued in a previous year and includes people that have 'self deported' and left the country after the issue of a Deportation Order.
