The table below contains details of persons confirmed deported and those confirmed deported following unsuccessful International Protection applications. The Department does not record data in the manner requested by the Deputy where criminality is concerned.

When issued with a deportation order, a person is required to remove themselves from the State.

However, where a person does not voluntarily return to their own country, Ireland, like all other EU Member States, puts in place arrangements to return people to their home country.
