I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy has no application pending for residency. The person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order following a comprehensive and thorough examination of their asylum claim, and a detailed examination of the representations they submitted for consideration under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended). 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.

I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.

The person to whom the Deputy refers was granted permission to remain in the State for a 2 year period in 2005 under the revised arrangements for non-EEA parents of children born in Ireland prior to 1 January, 2005, known as IBC/05 Scheme. She subsequently applied for renewal of this permission in August 2007 but this application was refused as the person did not meet a key criteria of the Scheme, namely that she remain resident in the State. The person concerned was subsequently invited, by letter dated 27 June, 2008, to submit representations under Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999, setting out the reasons as to why should be permitted to remain in the State to which she failed to reply. I should add that the person concerned re-entered the State in April of 2010. She was written to on 23 June 2010 in the context of her being illegally in the State and my Department is currently examining her case file, including extensive correspondence from her legal representatives, with a view to deciding on her future status in the State in due course.

I should also remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose.
