I have been informed by my officials that the person referred to by the Deputy has had all aspects of their international protection and related claims refused, they are given a short window of opportunity within which to exercise the option of voluntary return. Where this option is not exercised, and on the assumption that the relevant party has no separate basis to remain in the State, section 51 of the International Protection Act 2015 states that, subject to the provisions of section 50 of that Act, the Minister shall make a Deportation Order.

Where a Deportation Order has been made, any material change in the relevant person’s circumstances can be brought to the Minister’s attention through the means of a request, made under section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), to have that Order revoked. Any such request made will, of course, be considered on its merits but that process must not be confused with the process provided for under section 49 (9) of the Act of 2015.
