166 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will review the order for deportation in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 22; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14004/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraThis applicant arrived in the State 2 March 2003 and applied for asylum. She gave birth to a son on 17 March 2003. The applicant failed to present for her hearing, her application was refused and a Deportation Order was signed in respect of her on 6 December 2005. On 5 September 2006 the applicant informed the Department that she had left the State and returned to Nigeria in 2004 and had now returned back to the State. The applicant gave birth to a second son on 20 September 2006. On 17 July 2008 the deportation order was affirmed. The applicant instituted Judicial Review proceedings on 6 August 2008 challenging the decision to affirm the deportation order made in respect of her and accordingly, as the matter is sub judice, I do not propose to comment further.
