I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy is the subject of a Deportation Order, issued on 12 September 2011.

On 22 September 2011, the person concerned commenced Judicial Review proceedings, seeking, inter-alia, to challenge the Deportation Order. As the proceedings are currently before the High Court and are sub judice, I do not propose to comment further on the matter.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS 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 informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to is the subject of a Deportation Order made on 9 May 2012 and therefore has no entitlement to residency in the State. Judicial Review proceedings were issued on 6 June 2012 challenging the Deportation Order and accordingly, as the matter issub judice do not propose to comment further.

I should remind the Deputy that 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 through the more expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
