I wish to inform the Deputy that the person referred to has no entitlement to residency in the State.

The person concerned is subject to a Deportation Order signed in respect of her on 20 August 2009. Further representations were received from the person's legal representative dated 24 August 2009, which were examined in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended). Following consideration of the information submitted, the Deportation Order was affirmed. The person concerned and her legal representative were advised of both these decisions by letter dated 18 September 2009.

Further representations were received from the person's legal representative asking that the Deportation Order be revoked, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended). 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.

The effect of the Deportation Order is that the person concerned must leave the State and remain thereafter outside the State.

The enforcement of the Deportation Order is an operational matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau.

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