Matt Carthy (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

It would be useful if the Minister of State explained to the House the process for tracking and monitoring those who receive a final negative decision to ensure they leave Ireland as required. How many people are now in the State who have received a final negative decision but who have not left voluntarily, even if they have indicated an intention to do so? It is important to know how many are now currently subject to the deportation order.

Do we have information on the precise locations of those people who have received a negative decision or a deportation order but who are currently in Ireland? If so, can the Minister of State quantify precisely how many people are currently in the State who would fall into either of these categories?
