| Principles: | Amendment of a deportation order by the Minister for Justice will accord with fair procedures where the proposal to amend is fully and carefully explained to an applicant and where he or she has an opportunity to reply to such a proposal.

If the effect of the amendment will be to consider the removal of a person to a territory not originally considered when making the original deportation order, it is incumbent upon the Minister to revisit that issue. |
