Amharc ar fhreagra1077 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Law Reform the position regarding an application for residency in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Sligo; if the Department has reviewed the case with a view to revocation of the deportation order in view of the circumstances and further correspondence forwarded to his office; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32686/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 992 and 1077 together.
I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy has no application pending for residency. The person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order, signed on 27 July 2010, following a comprehensive and thorough examination of her asylum claim and her application for subsidiary protection, and a detailed examination of the representations she submitted for consideration under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended).
I can confirm that an undertaking was given that the deportation will not be effected, pending the determination of an asylum application on behalf of the child of the person concerned.
I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
