The procedure at present is that all cases where deportation is proposed are submitted to me for decision. In cases where I approve deportation, the person concerned is informed of my decision and told that I will consider any grounds the person might wish to put to me to appeal against the decision within a certain time period. The person is also given the option of leaving the State voluntarily.
