Irishman cleared for US return to pregnant wife

A MAN who was refused permission to return to the US, after a brief visit home last Christmas, is to return there and be reunited with his pregnant wife.

The nightmare for Jimmy Murphy from Newcastle West, Co Limerick, will end tomorrow when he flies out to Chicago’s O’Hare airport from Shannon.

Mr Murphy, 35, said: “Our life has been torn apart for six months. But, thank God it’s all over now and we can resume our lives.”
