482. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the number of applications that have been made by persons seeking to have their deportation order revoked, pursuant to the provisions of section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), by year, in tabular form; the number of successful applications and the numbers of applications that have been rejected; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I can inform the Deputy that any person, who is the subject of a Deportation Order, can apply to the Minister, 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) or under section 51 of the International Protection Act 2015.
Any such request, to have a realistic chance of having a favourable outcome, would need to be founded on new information or changed circumstances which were not raised, nor were capable of being raised, 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 first table below shows the number of applications that have been made by persons seeking to have their deportation order revoked, pursuant to the provisions of section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 from 1 January 2018 to 11 May 2023.

2020 | 512 |
2021 | 294 |
2022 | 522 |
2023 to 11 May 2023 | 217 |
