I am satisfied that the applications made by the persons concerned for asylum, for subsidiary protection, for temporary leave to remain in the State and for revocation of their Deportation Orders, including all medical information, together with all refoulement issues, were fairly and comprehensively examined and, as such, the decision to deport them is justified.

However, if new information or circumstances have come to light, which have a direct bearing on their case and which have arisen since the original decision to affirm the Deportation Orders was made, there remains the option of applying to me for revocation of the Deportation Orders pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 (11) of the Immigration Act, 1999, as amended. However I wish to make clear that such an application would require substantial grounds to be successful. The enforcement of the Deportation Order is an operational matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
