Supporters campaign for Leaving Cert asylum seeker to stay

Supporters of Nigerian asylum seeker Olukunle Elukanlo are renewing their campaign to keep the student in Ireland.

In March of this year Minister Michael McDowell revoked a deportation order and allowed Kunle to return to Ireland to sit his Leaving Cert.

Now he is facing deportation again and a final decision will be made on his case in September.

His school friends and the local community in Palmerstown, west Dublin, are launching a new campaign - this time to get him full residency.
