I can advise the Deputy that the person referred to is subject to a Deportation Order. They have made a request to have their deportation order revoked, pursuant to the provisions of section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended).

This request will be considered as soon as it is possible to do so. The decision to ensue from the consideration of this request will be that the existing deportation order will be either ‘affirmed’ or ‘revoked’. Once such a decision has been made, this will be notified to them in writing. In the meantime they remain legally obliged to comply with any reporting requirements placed on them by the Garda National Immigration Bureau.

It should be noted that their case is amongst many to be considered at present and, as such, at this point in time, it is not possible to provide a specific indication as to when their case will be finalised. However, they can be assured that there will be no avoidable delay in having their case brought to finality.

It is also noted that they have a pending application for the Undocumented Migrant Regularisation Scheme. Once a decision has been made in relation to their Undocumented Scheme application they will be notified in writing of the outcome.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie), 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.
