The Supreme Court has reserved judgment on a hearing that will determine whether Nigerian woman Pamela Izevbekhai's appeal against deportation will go ahead.

Amnesty International tonight pleaded with Justice Minister Dermot Ahern to reconsider deporting a Nigerian woman from Ireland over fears her daughters would suffer genital mutilation.

Nigerian woman Pamela Izevbekhai will go to the Supreme Court with her challenge aimed at preventing her and her two daughters' deportation.

The High Court has dismissed a legal challenge aimed at preventing the deportation of a Nigerian woman who claims her two young daughters are at risk of serious harm due to female genital mutilation (FGM) if returned to Nigeria.
