I can advise the Deputy that the person referred to does not hold an immigration permission to remain or work in the State, and therefore if they are working in the State, they are doing so illegally.I can advise the Deputy that the person referred to is the subject of a Deportation Order (DO) and that it is open to any individual to make representations under Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999, as amended, requesting to have their DO revoked. The applicant may complete form 3.11 to have their DO revoked, pursuant to the provisions of section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended). Form 3.11 is available at the following link:view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.irishimmigration.ie%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F08%2FForm-3-11-2023.docx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINKAll representations and documentation submitted on this form should set out any new or changed circumstances that were not previously presented. They must also complete a criminal declaration form which is available at the following link:.view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.irishimmigration.ie%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F08%2FCriminality-Declaration-Form-2023.docx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINKBoth forms must be sent either by email to repatadmin@justice.ie or by post toRepatriation Division,Immigration Service,Department of Justice,13-14 Burgh Quay,Dublin 2,D02 XK70Ireland.Once their application is processed, they will be informed of the outcome of their request. The outcome of that request will be that the existing DO will either be 'affirmed' or 'revoked'. If their application is successful, they will receive a letter stating that their DO has been revoked along with a copy of the revocation order. If they are currently residing in the State and do not hold an alternative immigration permission, they will also receive a letter granting them permission to reside in the State.In the meantime they remain legally obliged to comply with any reporting requirements placed on them by the Garda National Immigration Bureau.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 at: IMoireachtasmail@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.
