In reply to the Deputy's Question, when a person has been deported on foot of a Deportation Order, it is open to such a person to apply to my Department for revocation of the Deportation Order pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 (11) of the Immigration Act, 1999, (as amended), if there has been a change in the circumstances of the person concerned, or new information has come to light which has a direct bearing on his case. However I wish to make clear that such an application would require substantial grounds to be successful.

If an applicant was successful in their application to have their Deportation Order revoked and wished to return to Ireland, it would then be a matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau to decide whether to grant entry to the State to a national from a visa exempt country.
