VETERINARY SURGEONS ACT 1960 - SECT 24

24 .         Restoration of name to Register

        (1)         Subject to the provisions of subsection (2), where the Board or the State Administrative Tribunal causes or orders the removal of the name of any person from the Register, the name of that person shall not again be entered therein except by order of the State Administrative Tribunal upon application for review or by the direction of the Board.

        (2)         The Board cannot direct that the name of a person be again entered in the Register if the State Administrative Tribunal ordered the removal of the person’s name from the Register but otherwise may direct the Registrar in any case where the circumstances appear to the Board to warrant it, to restore to the Register any name removed therefrom without payment of a fee or on payment of such fee, not exceeding the fee payable on registration, as the Board directs.

        [(3)         deleted]

        (4)         A person whose name has been removed from the Register or whose registration is suspended may apply to the Board for the restoration of the name of that person to the Register or for the order for suspension to be varied — 

            (a)         if the name of that person was so removed or the registration was suspended by reason of — 

                  (i)         conviction of an offence; or

                  (ii)         a determination of an authority outside the State,

                after the expiration of 12 months from the date of the order concerned or of a previous such application whichever is the later; and

            (b)         in any other case, at any time.

        (4a)         An application under subsection (4) cannot be made without first applying for and obtaining the leave of the State Administrative Tribunal if the person’s name was removed or the suspension was imposed as a result of a proceeding before the State Administrative Tribunal commenced by an allegation under section 23.

        (5)         The provisions of this Act relating to the making and consideration of applications for registration apply, with such modification as is necessary, to an application made to the Board under this section.
