Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 March 2012
200 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress made to date in the determination of residency or naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 20; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17551/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer the Deputy to my reply below to Parliamentary Question No. 19438 of 7th July, 2011. The position is unchanged since then.
I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person (69/316/06) referred to by the Deputy has no application pending for residency or naturalisation. The person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order, signed on 20 April 2010, following a comprehensive and thorough examination of his asylum claim and his application for subsidiary protection, and a detailed examination of the representations he submitted for consideration under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended).
However, if new information or circumstances have come to light, which have a direct bearing on their case and which have arisen since the original Deportation Orders was made, there remains the option of applying to me for revocation of the Deportation Orders pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 (11) of the Immigration Act, 1999, as amended. However I wish to make clear that such an application would require substantial grounds to be successful.
The Deportation Order against the individual concerned requires him to remove himself from the State and remain outside the State thereafter. His continuing presence in the State is in breach of the Deportation Order against him.
I shouldremind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by Email 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.
