591. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of deportation orders relating to non-nationals who have served prison services here that have not been executed broken down by year of release from prison; the reason these deportation orders were not executed in view of the risk to society here by not executing the orders, broken down by category of crime such as homicide, causing serious bodily harm, burglary and so on; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Justice and Equality

I am advised by INIS that records are not maintained in a manner such as would allow the numbers of deportation orders made in respect of third country national persons who have served a prison sentence in this State to be dis-aggregated from all deportation orders made. However, I can say that in total over 1,700 Deportation Orders and 160 Removal Orders were made last year.
