442 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding an application for residency in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Waterford; if he has received new information supporting this case recently; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12577/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will be aware, from the many previous Dáil replies in this matter, that the person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order following a comprehensive examination of his asylum claim and of his case under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999.
As stated previously, Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act, 1999 provides the Minister with a power to amend or revoke a Deportation Order. An application seeking to revoke a Deportation Order must set out any new facts or circumstances which have arisen since the original decision to deport was made. Any such application submitted would be considered on its merits, having due regard to all refoulement issues, and following such consideration a decision would be taken to either affirm or revoke the Order. No representations of this nature are awaiting a decision at this time.
The enforcement of the Deportation Order in this case remains an operational matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
443 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding an application for residency or citizenship in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Meath; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12578/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person concerned made an application for residence in the State based on his marriage to a French national on 17 June 2009. The person referred to by the Deputy was informed of the decision on 20 August 2009. A request by the applicant and his spouse for a review of this decision was received on 8 September 2009. All applications for review are dealt with in chronological order of date of receipt and the decision to refuse this application remains under review.
