Overstay penalties

No non-national may be in the State other than in accordance with a permission given by or on behalf of the Minister; one who is in the State in breach of this is unlawfully present. The Minister may make a deportation order against a person who, in the Minister's opinion, has broken a restriction or condition of their landing, entry or leave to stay. The order requires the person to leave the State within the period it sets and to stay out of the State afterwards.
