I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy is the subject of a Deportation Order, issued on the 30th of August 2011. Judicial review proceedings have been lodged in the High Court challenging the making of the Deportation Order, and therefore, as the matter is sub judice, I do not propose to comment further. I can add however that the UK authorities have clarified matters from their perspective. While a UK judicial review is not a factor in their considerations, they have confirmed that under the Dublin Regulations they are the EU Member State with responsibility for the person concerned. The UK authorities have further confirmed that the person concerned absconded from the authorities there on the 21st March 2013. They have had no contact from the person since.

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.
