Question 122: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will review his previous decision in the matter of residency in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 15 on the grounds that the person was not aware of the requirements and on the basis of a recent submission from legal representatives; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I refer the Deputy to my detailed Reply to his earlier Parliamentary Question, No. 112 of Thursday, 2 July, 2009, in this matter.

The latest position is that the person concerned is due to 'present' again at the Offices of the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) on Tuesday, 29 September 2009. He remains the subject of a valid Deportation Order and the enforcement of that Order is an operational matter for the GNIB.

As the Deputy is aware, Section 3 (11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) provides the Minister with powers to amend or revoke a Deportation Order. An application seeking to revoke a Deportation Order must set out new facts or circumstances which have arisen and which were not capable of being advanced at the time the decision to deport was made. My Department has no record of such an application having been made by, or on behalf of, the person concerned.
