I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy has no application pending for leave to remain. The person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order following a comprehensive and thorough examination of his asylum claim and his application to remain temporarily in the State.

The effect of the Deportation Order is that the person concerned must leave the State and remain thereafter out of the State. The enforcement of the Deportation Order is an operational matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
