Union leaders back community activist’s bid to avoid deportation
At a public meeting yesterday the Waterford Council of Trade Union (WCTU) called for special consideration “on the basis of merit” for 30-year-old Weziwe Olubuunor, who has been living in Waterford for four years.
The South African woman’s application for humanitarian leave to remain in Ireland has been rejected. She was informed this week that she must report to the National Immigration Bureau on January 27 to arrange her deportation.
