152. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality notwithstanding replies to previous questions, in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Monaghan in respect of whom previous deportation orders were revoked in respect of herself and her child and reinstated on the basis that the issues involved were of a procedural nature, if reinstatement of deportation order in such a case has due regard for the decision of the courts; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Deputy will be aware, from previous Dáil replies in this matter, that a Deportation Order was made in respect of the child of the person referred to. Judicial review proceedings were then initiated challenging the Deportation Order. These proceedings, which related to procedural rather than substantive matters, were settled and the deportation order was revoked. A new proposal to deport letter was then issued.

Following a comprehensive and thorough examination of his application for subsidiary protection, and a detailed examination of the representations submitted on behalf of the child for consideration under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), a Deportation Order was signed in respect of him on 20 February 2014.

I am satisfied that the applications made by the person concerned for asylum, for Subsidiary Protection and the representations submitted for consideration under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), together with all refoulement issues, were given the fullest consideration before his Deportation Order was made.

In respect of the mother of the child concerned, there is an ongoing judicial review and it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on her case.
