I propose to take Questions Nos. 159 and 160 together.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department that there were no Deportations of persons to Latvia and Estonia in any of the years since the accession of those States to the EU in 2004. Neither, as I previously advised the Deputy in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 742 of 5th November, is there any record of a Deportation Order being made against persons who were holders of Latvian "non-citizens" passports and Estonian "aliens' passport", respectively, since the accession of Latvia and Estonia to the EU in 2004.

If the Deputy has a particular case in mind it is open to him to contact INIS directly 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.
