Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 November 2015
150. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality arising from the reply to a previous parliamentary question, if favourable consideration will be given to the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 22; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41073/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to is the subject of a Deportation Order made on 2nd July 2012 and therefore has no entitlement to residency in the State. Judicial Review proceedings were issued on 26th July 2012 challenging the Deportation Order. The Deputy will appreciate that it would be inappropriate for me as the Respondent in the legal proceedings before the High Court to in any way engage with what might happen in the event that the person were to withdraw those proceedings. Any decision to terminate legal proceedings is a matter for the person themselves.
I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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 through the more expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
