Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 May 2017
50. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if permission will be granted to remain or regularisation of residency in the form of naturalisation will be finalised in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22594/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order made on 27th May, 2009 and therefore has no entitlement to residency in the State.
Representations have been received from the legal representative of the person concerned, pursuant to section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), requesting the revocation of the Deportation Order. This request will be considered on its merits. The Deputy may wish to note that the decision to ensue from any such consideration will be to have the existing Deportation Order 'affirmed' or 'revoked'. Once such a decision has been made, this will be notified in writing. In the meantime, the Deportation Order remains valid and 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 to long awaited.
