A doctor who is serving over 31 years in a British prison for attempted murder has had his Irish registration cancelled by the High Court.

The move comes after the Medical Council of Ireland applied to the court to have the registration of Dr Thomas Kwan cancelled in what the President of the High Court noted was one of the most serious cases to come before the court professional disciplinary list.
