Dublin couple face deportation from Australia after son is diagnosed with cystic fibrosis

A Dublin couple who emigrated to Australia a decade ago could be deported because their application for permanent residency could mean taxpayers there may have to pay for their son's cystic fibrosis treatment.

Anthony Hyde, who works as a part-time bus driver in Seymour, Victoria, and his wife Christine who is an assistant principal at a primary school there, emigrated to Australia in 2009.
