The person concerned was the subject of Oral Parliamentary Question No. 6 of 2 February, 2006 at which time the particular circumstances of her case were outlined.

It was pointed out that the person concerned was illegally resident in the State and was required to leave the State. It was advised that she could reapply for the appropriate visa should she wish to return. However, the Visa Office of my Department have no record of having received a new visa application.

I understand from the Immigration Division of my Department that a request issued to her legal representatives on 13th July 2006 for details of her departure but to date no response has been received. As it is now apparent that the person concerned has continued to remain illegally in the State, it is now the intention of the Immigration Division of my Department to issue notification to deport her under Section 3 (4) of the Immigration Act 1999.
