High Court gives Navy man go-ahead to challenge decision to discharge him

The Defence Forces have decided to discharge Kevin Donoher from the Naval Services on medical grounds

Mr Donoher said he was informally given to understand that this grading was recommended because of concerns relating to the condition of his liver, and, in particular, his diagnosis of having a condition of 'fatty liver'. File picture: Larry Cummins

A member of the Permanent Defence Forces Naval Service has been granted leave by the High Court to challenge a decision to discharge him for allegedly not meeting medical standards.

Kevin Donoher says he got his own medical report which stated he had no significant medical impairment.
