I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 171 of 9 March 2006. The table provides details regarding the enforcement of the eight deportation orders I referred to on that occasion.

Of the five persons recorded as having "evaded deportation", it is considered likely that they have left the State without first having informed either my Department or the Garda Síochána. The Deputy might wish to note that persons subject to a deportation order are subject to arrest and detention.
