I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy, together with the other family members are the subject of Deportation Orders made against them following a comprehensive and thorough examination of their asylum claims, applications for Subsidiary Protection and a detailed examination of the representations they submitted for consideration under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended). The family concerned have no right to residency/naturalisation in the State.

The effect of the Deportation Orders is that the persons concerned must leave the State and remain thereafter outside the State. The enforcement of the Deportation Orders is an operational matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau.

I am satisfied that the applications made by the persons concerned for asylum and for temporary leave to remain in the State were fairly and comprehensively examined and, therefore, the decision to make Deportation Orders against them is justified.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by Email 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.
