I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the figures requested by the Deputy are as set out in the following tables. In each instance, the top five nationalities are shown with all other nationalities grouped under the 'Others' category. The Deputy might wish to note that orders effected and revoked in 2016 and 2017 may have been made in an earlier year. In relation to Orders effected, it should be borne in mind that persons the subject of a Deportation Order are obliged to remove themselves from the State, and it is only when they do not, that the State is obliged to intervene. In relation to revocation, Orders can be revoked for a variety of reasons, all of them relating to a substantial and material change in the relevant applicant's circumstances since the decision to make a Deportation Order was taken.
