I refer the Deputy to the Reply given to his Parliamentary Question No. 56 on Thursday 16 October 2008. The status of the person concerned is as set out in that Reply. However since that Reply was made, my officials became aware of two asylum applications made on 28 October 2008 in respect of two children of the person concerned. In view of this, a request was made by my officials to the Garda National Immigration Bureau on 14 November 2008 not to enforce the Deportation Order in respect of the person concerned until such time as the asylum applications of his two children have been considered.

As stated in my earlier Reply, the person concerned was due to present with the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) on Thursday 6 November 2008. He failed, however, to keep that appointment for medical reasons. He is not currently subject to any presentation requirements with the GNIB due to his medical condition.

The enforcement of the Deportation Order is, and remains, an operational matter for the GNIB.
