Mothers seek return of deported spouses after court ruling

THE MOTHERS of several Irish citizen children have called on the Government to facilitate their husbands’ speedy return to the country following their deportation.

Many were failed asylum seekers, while others had circumvented immigration rules.

The request follows this week’s ruling in the European Court of Justice, Europe’s highest court, that the non-European Union parents of an EU citizen child must be allowed to live and work in that EU state so as not to deprive them of the rights of EU citizenship.
