Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 May 2023
514. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice the options available to a person (details supplied) to regularise their status given that they have been refused by the undocumented scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25932/23]
View answerAn application under the Regularisation of Long Term Undocumented Migrants Scheme by the person referred to by the Deputy was refused on 18 May 2023.
It remains open to the person concerned to appeal this decision. The decision letter and the Immigration Service website contain detailed information on how to submit an appeal.
If the person concerned chooses not to appeal, or their appeal is unsuccessful, their file will be referred to the Arrangements Unit as there is a valid deportation order against them.
It is also open to the person to submit a request pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) seeking to have their deportation order revoked.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by email using the Oireachtas Mail facility at 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 Question process. The Deputy may consider using the email service except in the cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
