Patrick McCartan
Question:31 Mr. McCartan asked the Minister for Justice the reason for the deportation from this country on 9 February 1990 of a person (details supplied) who had received an entry visa and work permit for this country and who had been working in a Galway hospital for 18 months; if he intends to introduce any procedures for reviewing the cases of aliens whom it is planned to deport, having regard to the fact that persons in such situations can at present be held and deported without legal aid or advice; if he will introduce procedures to ensure that nobody is deported from this country without a judicial hearing at which the person could be legally represented and allowed to make a case against any proposed deportation order; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
