I am informed by the Immigration Service of my Department that the person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order signed on 17 February 2017. This Order requires the person concerned to remove themselves from the State and remain outside the State. The enforcement of Deportation Orders is a matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB).

Representations have been 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. A decision will then be made to either affirm or revoke the existing Deportation Order. This decision will be communicated in writing. In the meantime, the Deportation Order remains valid and in place.

Requests for the revocation of Deportation Orders are non-suspensive and even where the persons concerned submit such a request, they are still required to present to the Garda National Immigration Bureau on the specified date.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the Immigration Service 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 is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.

105. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if a proposal to deport will be revoked in the case of a person (details supplied); if the person is now entitled to a spousal dependency status in view of the fact that the person was married before the issue of form 3; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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 all other applicable legislation, in advance of a final decision being made.
