The tables below set out the information requested by the Deputy.

It is important to note that not all those who are issued with a deportation order will have been in the international protection process and, when issued with a deportation order, many people leave the State without notifying the authorities.

In relation to Deportation Orders effected in the period 2021-2023, the tables below set out the information requested. Orders effected are a mixture of enforced deportations and self-deportations where a person who is the subject of a Deportation Order leaves the state and notifies authorities that they have left the state as requested. Orders effected in a particular year may relate to orders signed in previous years.

* Where the total numbers for a particular nationality are less than 5 they are collated into the 'others' category to protect individual privacy.

A total of 15 deportation orders have been effected in 2023 to 21 March.
