I can advise the Deputy that the individual referred to was served with a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999. This notification remains in place and I am informed that the person has submitted written representations in response to that notification.

The next step in the process is that a decision will be made to make a Deportation Order, or to grant a permission to remain in the State. All information and documentation on their case file will be examined in detail before such a decision is arrived at.

They should note 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.

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.
