‘Unfairly treated’ Asian doctors to sue

The doctors wrote to the HSE, the department, and the council last month claiming that “discrimination and unlawful treatment has been an ongoing pattern” since they came to work in Ireland in 2011.

Dr Imran Habib, a spokesperson for 260 doctors from India and Pakistan, said they had filed the lawsuit because they felt badly treated. They are being represented by Dublin legal firm Hayes Solicitors.
