Aghbonlahor family to be deported in the next few weeks

A Nigerian family due to be deported in the next few weeks have been ordered to move from their home in Co Kerry to an accommodation centre in Dublin.

Yesterday, Olivia Aghbonlahor and her six-year-old twins Melissa and Great, who has autism, were given four weeks to stay and sort out their vaccinations before they leave for Africa.

Today, at a meeting with officials at the National Immigration Bureau, they were told that they must move to Dublin at the beginning of August, after which they can be deported at anytime.

It comes despite a massive campaign to allow the family to stay in Ireland.

Olivia Aghbonlahor is devastated by today's development.
