Striking off doctor working in Dublin hospital 'essential for public safety'

A doctor has been struck off the medical register by the High Court after he was found guilty of misconduct by repeatedly ignoring requirements to keep up to date with his professional competency.

Mr Justice Peter Kelly said Dr Syed Munir, a senior house officer in the anaesthesiology department of Blanchardstown Hospital, Dublin, had been "given every opportunity to put things right".
