Three-year-old taken from school for deportation

A three-year-old schoolboy was one of the 50 people deported to Nigeria last week.

The boy, who is known as Mavison was taken from Muckross Community School in Killarney and deported with his mother to Lagos.

Mavison was taken from the school by Immigration officers in front of his fellow students.

Geradina Hartnett the school's parent liaison officer said: "These kids are between the age of three and four and I suppose it was quite a big thing for them that's he's been taken away and he's not coming back."
