A Deportation Order was made against this person on 13 January, 2011 which required him to remove himself from the State and remain outside the State. As he failed to remove himself from the State, he was deported from the State to his country of origin on 7th February 2011. The Deportation Order requires him to remain outside the State and therefore he has no permission to enter or reside in the State. Officials in the Citizenship Division of INIS inform me that there is no record of an application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's question.

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. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
