Ceist:

148 Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the options open to a person who has been deported in the past but now has residency in Ireland to prevent them from being questioned at airports because of the deportation on their passport; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In general, a person who has been made subject to a Deportation Order would have to apply to have the Deportation Order revoked under Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended). It is only where such a person has succeeded in their application to have the Deportation Order against them revoked that they can subsequently be granted residency in the State.

If the Deputy, or the person to whom he refers, wishes to write directly to the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department setting out the specific details and circumstances involved, my officials will examine the matter and provide the appropriate advice.
