The person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order, signed on 5 May 2005, following a comprehensive and thorough examination of her asylum claim. Her case was reviewed in June 2008 and again in November of 2009. A detailed examination of the representations she submitted for consideration under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) was conducted and on both occasions a decision was made to affirm the Deportation Order.

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 e-mail 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.
