The 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.
