Deportation Orders
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-10
============================================================

Bríd Smith (PBP), Dublin South-Central

I greatly welcome the indication the Minister gave yesterday in the Seanad that no deportations would be allowed during the pandemic. My question might seem a bit redundant, but I ask her to reiterate the Department's intention regarding those who have received letters. I put particular emphasis on the cases of the two care workers that I have raised with the Minister repeatedly. What do they need to do next? I acknowledge that the Minister has given me written answers. What are their next steps? Should they make an appeal directly to the Minister? What is the position of deportation?
