Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 May 2020
348. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current or expected residency status in the case of persons (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4221/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe persons referred to have submitted representations to me under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) detailing why deportation orders should not be made in respect of them.
These applications will be given full consideration. These cases are amongst many to be considered at present and, as such, it is not possible at this point in time to provide a specific indication as to when the case will be finalised.
However, both persons can be assured that there will be no avoidable delay in having their case brought to finality. Once a decision has been made the persons referred to will be notified in writing of the outcome.
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.
