Indian woman who entered marriage of convenience loses appeal for residency in Ireland

The court heard that the woman told members of the Garda National Immigration Bureau in a 2018 interview that the pair had married because 'she needed a visa'

Giving the Court of Appeal's decision, Ms Justice Power said the court could find no error of law contained in the High Court's judgement, nor with the minister's decision.

The Court of Appeal (CoA) has upheld the Minister for Justice's refusal to allow an Indian woman found to have entered into a marriage of convenience with an EU national to continue to reside in Ireland.

Lawyers acting for the pair had claimed that the 2012 marriage was genuine.
