I can inform the Deputy that the information sought is being compiled. The provision of this information is complicated by two factors. Firstly, two data sources — the Irish Prison Service and the Garda National Immigration Bureau — must initially compile and then cross reference data from separate recording systems. Secondly, records are not maintained in such a way as to conveniently access the specific data requested in respect of previous years. I can assure the Deputy, however, that there will be no unavoidable delay in providing the available information to him.
