I propose to take Questions Nos. 209, 213 and 214 together.

The number of persons deported from the State in each of the three years, 2002, 2003 and 2004 is provided in the following table:

The number of persons deported from the State by nationality in each of the three years 2002, 2003 and 2004, is provided in the tables.

There are approximately 430 persons awaiting deportation from the State, where travel and escort arrangements are in the course of being made. A further 5,850 persons are currently evading deportation orders but it is not known how many of these are still in the State. The number of persons granted temporary leave to remain in the State in the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 is provided in the table.
