Ceist:

392 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if a request in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Louth to report to the Garda national immigration bureau on 8 June 2004 will not be proceeded with; if he will give the usual undertaking and assurance so that steps will be taken to implement this person’s deportation from the State pending the ultimate determination of the legal proceedings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18312/05]

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

The person concerned has instituted judicial review proceedings challenging a deportation order made in respect of him. The matter is therefore sub judice and I do not propose to comment further in this case other than to confirm that an undertaking was given that the deportation will not be effected pending the determination of legal proceedings.
