I think you should be able to return and play a role in the upbringing of your Irish/European, but speak to a solicitor for more detail and if you log on to www.justice.ie you will get full details of what the new justice minister need in the discretionary power granted to him, so you're free dude.

Actually it is the INIS website you need to go to:
www.inis.gov.ie

If you check here you will see that you should be allowed to return under
Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended). At that point, given that you are the parent of an Irish born citizen child, this would be factored into the Section 3 consideration. If it appears that the Zambrano criteria are met in your case, and there are no significant issues of criminality associated with your case, you are likely to be granted permission to remain in the State for a three year period, subject to a set of stated conditions.

It also says that you do not have to use a solicitor but you can if you want to provided that you give them written authorisation.
I do not know the facts but it seems unfair that you were deported especially since you had nearly 5 years residence and had a de facto relationship with an irish Citizen.If you are outside Ireland it will be more difficult for you to communicate, but you need to contact
the Repatriation Division,
INIS,
13-14 Burgh Quay,
Dublin 2
