Mr. Doncha O'Sullivan:

The principal step is that An Garda Síochána seeks to enforce the order with the most recent information available to us, which is usually an IPAS address. There will also be follow up in terms of any social protection information that might be available. The reality is that while every effort is made to identify whether or not somebody has left the country, it is difficult to do so and it is not really possible to say so definitively in the absence of exit controls in the jurisdiction. However, the Garda National Immigration Bureau has in the past reviewed large numbers of cases, looked at them closely and carried out inquiries. Its conclusion is that a very significant number of the people in question have left the State and there was no sign of them in the State anymore. That is something we continue to work on.
