313. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will review the decision to deport in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Waterford who has been here for almost ten years; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [49406/14]

I refer the Deputy to the Reply given to his Parliamentary Question No. 122 on Thursday 6th November, 2014. The status of the person concerned is as set out in that Reply.

I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned, together with other family members are the subject of Deportation Orders.

However, if new information or circumstances have come to light, which has a direct bearing on her case, and which have arisen since the original Deportation Order was made, there remains the option of a request that I use my discretion, pursuant to Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended) to revoke the Deportation Order. However I wish to make clear that such a request would require substantial grounds to be successful. In the mean-time, the Deportation Order remains 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.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order.

Representations were received in late 2013 from the person's legal representative, pursuant to Section 3 (11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), to revoke the Deportation Order. 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.
