McDowell delays deportation of Nigerian family

Minister for Justice Michael McDowell has said a Nigerian woman and her four-year-old twins, one of whom is believed to be autistic, will remain in Ireland despite plans to deport them.

Mr McDowell has arranged for a stay to be put on Olivia Agbon Lahor's deportation as she is waiting for expert medical assessment for her son, Great, who may be suffering from autism.
