Immigration Bill 2002 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] : Report and Final Stages.

 

Subsection (3) is also modelled on provisions in the Immigration Act 1999 relating to the deportation process. It makes it clear that detention under this provision is for the purposes of removal, which should take place as soon as practicable, and that detention cannot be for a total of more than eight weeks. It sets out, similar to the deportation provisions, the periods not to be included when reckoning the total.
