Judge ensures woman has prison visits from daughter at Christmas

A judge has asked immigration authorities to do all in their power to ensure a 20-year-old mother receives daily visits in Mountjoy Prison over Christmas from her two-year-old child.

Ms Justice Maureen Clark heard in the High Court that Stella Omoregie and her baby daughter, Favour, were among a large group of failed asylum seekers being deported to Nigeria on December 15 when their plane got into difficulties and was forced to land in Athens.
