I refer the Deputy to my response to Question No. 246 of 15 February 2006. The position has not changed. A decision regarding the making of a deportation order in this case has not yet been made. Submissions on behalf of this individual have been received and are under consideration.

I refer the Deputy to the reply I gave to Questions Nos. 459 and 469 on Tuesday, 7 February 2006 in which I outlined the position. The enforcement of the deportation order is now an operational matter for the Garda national immigration bureau.
