Court says airport officer entitled to look at phone of man suspected of coming for 'marriage of convenience'

An immigration officer at Dublin Airport was entitled to look at a man's mobile phone text messages which led the officer to believe he was here to enter into a marriage of convenience, the High Court has ruled

The Pakistani man arrived in October 2017 at the airport with a travel visa and was interviewed by the immigration officer who then examined his phone. He claimed he was coming to visit his brother.
