Judge admits there is 'no ideal solution' as he allows deportation of Nigerian man who claims to have Irish citizen children

A Nigerian man who claims he is the father of two Irish-citizen children by an Irish woman - who has since married another man - has failed to get a High Court injunction preventing his deportation.

The man, who was detained last January on foot of the deportation order, sought the injunction pending proceedings aimed at revoking the deportation order and his separate bid for residency on the basis of parentage of Irish citizen children.
