The person concerned, together with other family members referred to by the deputy, are the subject of Deportation Orders, following a comprehensive and thorough examination of their asylum claims, and a detailed examination of the representations they submitted for consideration under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended). The effect of the Deportation Orders are that the persons concerned must leave the State and remain thereafter out of the State. Representations were received from the persons' legal representative asking that the Deportation Orders be revoked, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended). This application is under consideration at present. When a decision has been made on that application, that decision, and the consequences of that decision, will be conveyed in writing to the person concerned.

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.
