The person referred to by the Deputy is the subject of a Deportation Order. Any person who is the subject of a Deportation Order can apply, under section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), to have their Deportation Order revoked. That position applies equally to deportation orders made under section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and under section 51 of the International Protection Act 2015.

Any request for a Deportation Order to be revoked should be based on new information or changed circumstances which were not already put before the Minister, nor were capable of being put before the Minister, when the decision to make a Deportation Order was taken. Where such a request is made, the outcome of that request will be that the existing Deportation Order will either be ‘affirmed’ or ‘revoked’.

The person referred to may direct any further queries to the Repatriation Division of the my Department's Immigration Service by email to arrangements@justice.ie or by post to the following address:

Repatriation Division, Immigration Service, Department of Justice and Equality, 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2, D02 XK70Ireland.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie) which has been specifically established for this purpose.

268. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if a review of the proposal to deport can be considered in the case of a person (details supplied); if his case can be re-examined with a view to ascertaining whether, due to the length of time he has been in Ireland, including during lockdown, if his status can be reconsidered; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The person concerned is the subject of a Deportation Order, signed on 11 March 2005. Representations were received from the person concerned, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), requesting that the Deportation Order be revoked. Following detailed consideration of the information submitted in support of the request, the Deportation Order was affirmed and notified to the person concerned by letter dated 4 April 2019.

While there are no outstanding correspondence or applications on file for this person, it is open to them to submit further representations requesting that the Deportation Order be revoked, pursuant to Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended). A request seeking to revoke a Deportation Order must set out any new facts or circumstances which have arisen since the decision to affirm the extant Deportation Order was made. Any such request submitted would be considered on its merits, having due regard to all refoulement issues.

Requests for revocations should be sent directly to:

Repatriation Unit,

Immigration Service Delivery, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 DO2 XK70.

Requests for the revocation of the Deportation Order are non-suspensive of the Deportation Order made in respect of the applicant and as such, if such a request is submitted, the person concerned is still required to present to the Garda National Immigration Bureau. A decision in the case would be either to affirm or to revoke the existing Deportation Order. In the meantime, the Deportation Order remains valid and in place.
