A challenge by an Algerian man with alleged links to Islamic terrorism against a second refusal by the Minister for Justice to revoke a deportation order against him has opened before the High Court, writes Ann O’Loughlin.

Today Micheal Lynn SC for the man told Mr Justice Richard Humphreys the Minister’s decision the man is not at risk if returned to Algeria was "irrational". He contended the decision made last September should be quashed.
