Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 December 2015
147. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if the residency status and eligibility for naturalisation of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 24 will be reviewed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43419/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order made following a comprehensive and thorough examination of their asylum claim and a detailed examination of the representations they submitted for consideration under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended).
Representations were received from the person's legal representative pursuant to Section 17 (7) of the Refugee Act 1996 (as amended). This application is under consideration at present. Representations were also received from the person's legal representative pursuant to Section 3 (11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), to revoke the Deportation Order. The Deputy may wish to note that any such decision will be to 'affirm' or to 'revoke' the existing Deportation Order. This application is also under consideration at present. In the meantime, the Deportation Order remains in place.
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.
