Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 May 2014
198. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the reason for the reintroduction of a deportation order in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Monaghan; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22070/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer the Deputy to the Reply given to his recent Parliamentary Question No. 154 of Thursday 1st May 2014. The status of the person concerned is as set out in that reply.
I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that following a comprehensive and thorough examination of his asylum claim and an examination under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), a Deportation Order was made in respect of the person referred to by the Deputy on 1 July 2011. Judicial review proceedings were then initiated challenging the Deportation Order. These proceedings, which related to procedural rather than substantive matters, were settled and the deportation order was revoked. A new proposal to deport letter was then issued.
Following a comprehensive and thorough examination of 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), a Deportation Order was signed in respect of him on 20 February 2014.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by Email 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 .
