Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 26 January 2023
287. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice the progress made to date in determination of residency status in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3922/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person referred to by the Deputy is the subject of a Deportation Order made on 1 February 2019. They made a request on 23 October 2020, under section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), to have that Order revoked. This will be considered as soon as possible.
All applications are examined on a case by case basis, on the documentation supplied and as provided for under Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended). The decision will be that the existing Deportation Order will be either ‘affirmed’ or ‘revoked’.
As the person is subject to a Deportation Order, they remain legally obliged to comply with any reporting obligations placed on them by the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) during this time.
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.
