Nigerian man with glaucoma loses challenge over Minister's refusal to let him stay in Ireland on medical grounds

A Nigerian man who suffers from glaucoma has lost his High Court challenge to the Minister for Justice's refusal to grant him permission to remain here on medical grounds.
The man developed glaucoma - a disease that damages the eye's optic nerve - about 2008 and appeared to have left Nigeria for the purpose of getting superior medical treatment, Mr Justice Richard Humphreys said.
