The Garda National Immigration Bureau is responsible for effecting removals from the State including the escorting of deportees while on flights. I am informed by the Garda National Immigration Bureau that prior to all such flights, contact is made with the relevant Embassies and they are made aware of names of all deportees and any other relevant information. It has been the experience to date that deportees are, in most circumstances, met upon arrival by family members.
