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 signed on 4 November 2011, following a comprehensive and thorough examination of her asylum claim and of her application to remain temporarily in the State. She has been evading her deportation since 29 November 2011 and should she come to the notice of the Garda authorities, she would be liable to arrest and detention. She should, therefore, present herself to the Garda National Immigration Bureau without any further delay.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the 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 the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
