Mr. Doncha O'Sullivan:

As soon as we make a deportation order, that is a lasting order. If a person comes to the attention of the authorities or the Garda, in particular, down the road for some reason, in other words, if he or she has not left the jurisdiction, he or she can be arrested and taken into custody and removed at that point in time.
