160.

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 that was effected on 30 August 2011. Proceedings seeking to quash that Order are ongoing before the High Court and I am unable to comment on matters that are the subject of litigation.

I can however confirm that INIS is not in receipt of a long term residency or permission to remain application on behalf of the person to whom the Deputy refers.

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.
