Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 June 2018
230. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if the case for residency status submitted for consideration in the case of a person (details supplied) has been examined; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26211/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to is the subject of a Deportation Order made on 11th March 2005 and therefore has no entitlement to residency in the State.
Representations were received on behalf of the person concerned pursuant to Section 3 (11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), to revoke the Deportation Order. The Deputy might wish to note that any such decision will be to ‘affirm’ or to ‘revoke’ the existing Deportation Order. In the meantime, the Deportation Order remains valid and in place.
The person concerned was required to present at the Offices of the Garda National Immigration Bureau on 19 May 2005, to make arrangements for his deportation from the State. The person concerned failed to present on that occasion and is therefore recorded as a person who is evading deportation.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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 email service except in cases where the response from the INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
