Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 April 2012
576 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if consideration is likely to be given to the health status of the parents and children in the matter of intended procedure in respect of immigration proposals in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19986/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that four members of the family in question are the subject of Deportation Orders signed on 21 July 2009, following full considerations of their various applications for asylum, subsidiary protection and their representations submitted under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended).
In May 2011 another child was born to the family. An application for subsidiary protection and representations submitted under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 was submitted on behalf of this child. An undertaking was provided confirming that no steps would be taken to remove the other four members of the family pending the consideration of those applications for the youngest child in addition to the application made under Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act, 1999 to revoke the Deportation Orders against the other four family members.
All information submitted by or on behalf of all of the family members concerned, including any information submitted in relation to health issues, will be fully considered before any decision is made.
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.
