I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is subject of a Deportation Order made on 3rd May 2012. The person concerned has been evading deportation since 7th June 2012 and, as such, is liable to arrest and detention. The person concerned should, therefore, 'present' to the Garda National Immigration Bureau without further delay.

Representations were received on behalf of the person concerned from the Deputy, asking that the Deportation Order 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. The Deputy might wish to note that any such decision will be to ‘affirm’ or to ‘revoke’ the existing Deportation Order. In the mean-time, the Deportation Order remain valid and in place.

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.
