Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
1402. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice the progress that has been made to date in the determination of an application for residency status in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42910/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person referred to by the Deputy is the subject of a Deportation Order made on 20 June 2002.
Representations were received on their behalf, pursuant to Section 3 (11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), to revoke the Deportation Order. Following the consideration of those representations, a decision was taken that the Deportation Order should be affirmed. This decision was communicated to the person concerned by registered post, dated 9 November 2017.
As previously advised, the person concerned can submit further representations requesting that the Deportation Order be revoked, pursuant to Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended). However, any application would require substantial grounds to be successful. To date, no such further representations have been received on this case, and consequently the Deportation Order remains valid and in place.
It is open to the person concerned or their legal representative to direct any further queries to the Repatriation Division of my Department by email to: arrangements@justice.ie or by post to the following address:
Repatriation Division,

The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
