I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order made on 16th December, 2010. While that Order remains valid and in place, I am advised that the person concerned has sought to be re-admitted to the international protection process. A decision has been made on that request and that decision was recently communicated by letter. The person concerned should proceed without delay to act in accordance with the direction given in that communication.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility 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 from the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
