Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 October 2022
267. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice further to a previous parliamentary question, if she will again consider the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54112/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person referred to by the Deputy is the subject of a Deportation Order. Any person who is the subject of a Deportation Order can apply, under section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), to have their Deportation Order revoked. That position applies equally to deportation orders made under section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and under section 51 of the International Protection Act 2015.
Any request for a Deportation Order to be revoked should be based on new information or changed circumstances which were not already put before the Minister, nor were capable of being put before the Minister, when the decision to make a Deportation Order was taken. Where such a request is made, the outcome of that request will be that the existing Deportation Order will either be ‘affirmed’ or ‘revoked’.
The person referred to may direct any further queries to the Repatriation Division of the my Department's Immigration Service by email to arrangements@justice.ie or by post to the following address:
Repatriation Division, Immigration Service, Department of Justice and Equality, 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2, D02 XK70Ireland.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie) 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 is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
