I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 1029 of 26 September 2007, wherein the position with regard to the person's refusal under the IBC/05 Scheme was set out. Subsequently the person in question was invited, under section 3 of the Immigration Act,1999, to submit updated representations setting out the reasons why a Deportation Order should not be made in respect of him. Representations in this regard have been received in my Department.

It should be noted that the person concerned has come to the adverse attention of An Garda Síochána on several occasions since entering the State. Consideration is being given to the representations referred to. However, my Department is not currently in a position to give a timeframe as to when those considerations will be concluded.
