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

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

We have a robust system in place. At the same time, it is a system and, like any other, it can always be improved. That is part of a wider discussion and engagement which may need to take place after this. I reiterate my comments from yesterday to the effect that we will continue to take the same compassionate and pragmatic approach we have taken throughout this pandemic. I give that reassurance. I also stress something else I said yesterday. We are rolling out a new vaccine programme and I wish to state, on the record, that no information provided by anyone who comes forward will be passed on to any type of immigration service or otherwise. It is important that people come forward and get this vaccine, and that includes those going through the international protection system as well.
