I can advise that the person referred to by the Deputy is the subject of a deportation order.

A deportation order is a legal order to leave the State. Any person who has been ordered to leave the State and fails to do so is committing a criminal offence. Such an order remains on the person’s record permanently, unless revoked by the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration.

My Department can consider requests to revoke a deportation order under Section 3(11) of Immigration Act 1999. Any application for a deportation order to be revoked should set out new or changed circumstances that were not previously presented.

Further information about this process is available on my Department’s website at the following link: www.irishimmigration.ie/my-situation-has-changed-since-i-arrived-in-ireland/repatriation-division/

Following consideration of such a request, the existing deportation order will be either ‘affirmed’ or ‘revoked’. Once such a decision has been made, this will be notified to the applicant in writing.

As an Oireachtas member, you can also request the status of individual immigration cases by e-mail, using the Oireachtas Mail facility at: IMoireachtasmail@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 Question process.
