Date Posted:Wednesday, August 29, 4:51:04 Author: Irish Political Status Committee Subject: Noel Maguire refused repatriation again.
Irish political prisoner Noel Maguire in HMP Full Sutton England, has had his application for repatriation refused again on the dubious grounds "he has closer ties to the United Kingdom than to an Irish jurisdiction."
Noel has two young sons living in the 26 Counties, and a former wife who is willing to visit him should he be repatriated - and has put that in writing. Noel also holds an
up-to-date Irish passport issued in Dublin in 2001.
He has no relatives in England.
For the Department of Justice to now claim Noel has closer ties to the United Kingdom than to an Irish jurisdiction is flying in the face of reality and legality. It is certainly discrimination and victimisation.
Noels papers have been sent to the IBRG (Irish in Britain Representation Group) and other civil and human rights groups in Britain, Ireland and USA for interpretation.
The case is on-going and the findings of the Minister of Justice is currently being challenged by Noel.
