To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 272 of 19 December 2014, if cognisance might be taken of the extent to which circumstances have changed since the making of a deportation order seven years ago in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; if their case might be re-considered in view of this new information; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is not the subject of a Deportation Order. The person concerned is, however, subject to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) given that their asylum and subsidiary protection applications have been refused. In response to the notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), the person concerned has submitted written representations. These representations, together with all other information and documentation on file, will be fully considered, under Section 3 (6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and Section 5 of the Refugee Act 1996 (as amended) on the prohibition of refoulement, in advance of a final decision being made in the case of the person concerned.

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.
