In line with the commitments given by the Taoiseach and I, it remains the case that deportation orders are not being enforced during the COVID-19 pandemic, except in cases where an individual may be a threat to national security or whose presence in Ireland would be contrary to the public interest.
Furthermore, the Immigration Service of my Department has suspended the issuance of deportation orders during periods when Level 5 restrictions are in place. My Department has taken a pragmatic and compassionate approach to immigration arrangements in the context of COVID-19 and this approach will continue for as long as is necessary.
