Considerations
The Minister must consider the age of the person, duration of residence, family and domestic circumstances, employment, character / conduct, the common good, national and any public policy considerations and representations by the person.
Written Representations
The person who has been notified of the proposal to deport, has within 15 working days of the sending of the notification, to make representations in writing to the Minister as to why the person should not be deported.
Therefore the deportee must act with speed and urgency to put his/her best case forward.
If the deportee has a family here then a family life submission under Art 4.1 of the Constitution would be helpful.
Non-Refoulement Considerations
The principle of non refoulement is set out at S.50 of the International Protection Act 2015 & S.4 – Criminal Justice United Nations Convention Against Torture Act 2000.
S.50 above states a person cannot be expelled to the frontier of a territory where the life or freedom of the person would be threatened for race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or group membership reasons, where there is a serious risk the person would be subjected to e death penalty, torture or other inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
