Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 February 2012
208 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current and likely position regarding residency or family reunification in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6159/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned has been granted Leave to Remain in the State which is valid to 29 March 2012. This decision was conveyed in writing to the person concerned by letter dated 29 March 2010. The person concerned is required to apply in writing for the renewal of this permission. As my Department's records show no evidence of such a renewal application having been made to date, it is recommended that the person concerned should do so without further delay. The Deputy might wish to note that the current position in the State of the person concerned is not such as would enable him to make an application for family reunification. Access to family reunification is confined to persons recognised as refugees or with subsidiary protection status.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from the INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.

Amharc ar fhreagraI 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 5 November 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).
The effect of the Deportation Order is that the person concerned must leave the State and remain thereafter out of the State. The enforcement of the Deportation Order is an operational matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
