Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 6 September 2019
579. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to previous correspondence and Parliamentary Questions, if the case of a person (details supplied) will be re-examined with a view to setting aside the deportation order; if stamp 4 status will be issued in view of the circumstances of the case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35129/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Immigration Service of my Department that the person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order signed on 25 August 2017. This Order requires the person to remove themselves from the State and remain outside the State. The enforcement of the Deportation Order is a matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
Representations were received from the person concerned, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), requesting that the Deportation Order be revoked. Following the detailed consideration of the information submitted in support of the request, the Deportation Order was affirmed and notified to the person concerned by letter dated 08 May 2019. There are no outstanding correspondence or applications on file for this applicant.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the Immigration Service 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 by way of the parliamentary questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from the Immigration Service is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
