Man with alleged IS link set for deportation after ruling

The High Court has cleared the way for the deportation of a man the State alleges has been working with people associated with the Islamic terror group known as IS.

At the High Court last evening, Ms Justice Carmel Stewart discharged a temporary High Court injunction, obtained by the man last week, preventing the State from acting on a deportation order formally issued in November.

The man, originally from the Middle East and who cannot be identified for legal reasons, had been a resident in Ireland for more than 15 years. Aged in his 50s, he has lived here with his family.
