I refer the Deputy to the Reply I gave to his Parliamentary Question No. 722 of Tuesday 27 January 2009. The person concerned presented as requested with the Garda National Immigration Bureau on the 18th of February 2009. However, she failed to comply with the direction of the Immigration Officer under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999. She was subsequently detained for failing to co-operate with the Immigration Officer in providing information required for the purpose of her removal.

The following table shows the number of Deportation Orders signed and effected for each of the years in question. However, the Deputy should note that Deportation Orders signed in a particular year are not necessarily effected in that year, e.g. an Order signed in 2006 may be effected in any subsequent year. Therefore the figure for Orders effected vis-À-vis Orders signed in a specific year is a "live" figure and subject to ongoing up-dating. It is not possible to provide, retrospectively, the position that pertained in respect of Orders that were both signed and effected in a particular calendar year.
