Jim O'Keeffe (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

It is the Tánaiste's job to come clean and answer questions. It is his job not to be evasive nor obfuscate in his replies. I revert to the question I tabled six months ago. How many of these people were considered by him in each of those years for deportation? In respect of how many were deportation orders made? The Tánaiste has not yet answered the question. The real question is why he has not answered it. It is clear from the documentation I have received that no effective process was put in place by the Tánaiste for consideration by him of these issues up to last year.
