I have been informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that every assistance has been provided by that Division within its remit in facilitating the request of the person referred to by the Deputy. The Immigration Division has been in contact with the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) and has been informed that the Bureau will be returning the passport of the person in question prior to her intended journey outside the State. I have also been assured that the immigration authorities of this State will have no difficulty in permitting the person in question to re-enter the State after her school trip. Visa requirements to enter France are a matter for the French authorities.
