That is the formal process of applying for leave to remain. If people are told they will be deported, they can come back into the formal system by applying for leave to remain. However, I am asking about when that process has expired and the person has not been successful and is due to be deported. When the Department moves to deport that person and it turns out that it will interfere in a significant way, for example, with somebody in education where a family is being deported, does the family have a right to put a halt to proceedings and to give them that three or six-month period before we proceed to remove them from the State?
