I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department that 25 people were deported from the State during the week beginning 1 March 2010. In relation to access to the judicial review process, I would refer to the Deputy to the relevant legislation in this regard. Section 5 of the Illegal Immigrants (Trafficking) Act 2000 provides that any person the subject of a deportation order can question the validity of that order by way of an application for judicial review under Order 84 of the Rules of the Superior Courts (S.I. No. 15 of 1986).
