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 made on 27 May 2009 and therefore has no entitlement to residency in the State.

Representations were received on behalf of the person concerned requesting that the deportation order be revoked, pursuant to the provisions of section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended). This request will be considered as soon as possible.

The Deputy might wish to note that the decision to ensue from the consideration of this request will be to have the existing deportation order ‘affirmed’ or ‘revoked’. Once such a decision has been made, this decision will be notified in writing. In the meantime, 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 made an application for permission to reside in the State based on marriage to an Irish national on 30 November 2016. I understand that the application was closed on 13 October 2017 due to lack of information from the applicant.

I am further informed that the person concerned made a subsequent application for permission to reside on 27 October 2017. I understand that INIS wrote to the person concerned on 14 September 2018 informing them that it granted permission to reside in the State for one year on Stamp 4 conditions.
