Question 233: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 128 of 20 November 2008, if he will revoke the deportation order on the basis of failure of their legal representative to respond within the specified time in view of the fact that the circumstances have changed through no fault of a person (details supplied) in County Louth; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I would refer the Deputy to my detailed Reply to his recent Parliamentary Question, No. 128 of Thursday, 20 November 2008, in this matter. As stated in that Reply, the latest representations submitted on behalf of the person concerned are being treated as an application for revocation of the existing deportation orders as provided for under Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended). This application is under consideration at present. When a decision has been made on that application, that decision, and the consequences of that decision, will be conveyed in writing to the person concerned.

In relation to the alleged failure of the previous legal representative of the person concerned to respond to an invitation to submit fresh representations within an agreed timeframe, it would have to be assumed that all the facts or circumstances which the person concerned would wish to have considered vis a vis her application to remain in the State are now before my Department for consideration.
