Question 158: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the procedure to be followed in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 15 who wishes to apply for revocation of a deportation order; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20783/09]

Section 3 (11) of the Immigration Act, 1999, as amended, provides the Minister with a power to amend or revoke a Deportation Order. The legislation does not specify what form such an application should take. In practice, however, these types of applications are usually made by the legal representatives of the persons concerned and in the main must set out any new facts or circumstances which have arisen since the original decision to deport was made. Any such application submitted would be considered on its merits, having due regard to all refoulement issues, and following such consideration, a decision would be taken to either affirm or revoke the Order.
