Last year this guy was deported during his leaving Cert year. There was a massive out cry and Michael McDowell was forced to change his mind and bring him back. Allowing him to stay to finish his exams. But now he is to be deported again. The reason from RTE

Mr Eluhanla’s recent plea of guilty in court to charges of driving without insurance or tax, along with the fact that he already has a previous conviction for a road traffic offence.

Good riddance he gives the rest of asylum seekers a bad name. Watch all the bigots now getting to use this against every Nigerian.If someone comes here they should respect our laws. He has also broken the law not once but twice. This guy was given a chance to make something of his life here. But didn’t. He threw back all the support people gave him back in there face when he steped behind that wheel and has set his fellow Nigerians back in this country.

I hope all the do gooders have enough sense to let this one go, there is far more worthy cases out there.

I think my hope was invain. In the Dail yesterday from Mr. J. Higgins:

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil to raise a matter of urgent public importance and interest, the new deportation order issued against student Olunkunle Eluhanla in defiance of the clear wish of his classmates and the community in Palmerstown and of the Irish people generally who prevailed upon the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to have him returned from his initial ill-judged deportation.
