'Cruel' that Wickow boy, 9, threatened with deportation to China

The potential deportation to China of a nine-year-old boy who has lived in Wicklow his whole life has been branded "cruel" and "inhumane".

Fianna Fáil TD for Wicklow, Stephen Donnelly has said that it is entirely unacceptable that Eric Zhi Ying Xue and his mother, Leena are facing imminent deportation after her last appeal to stay in Ireland was rejected in June.
