Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

Recently this man's father, who is a judge of the Nigerian court, attempted to visit his grandchildren and was refused entry. If a judge from another country is refused entry, how difficult must it be for everyone else? We need to debate this matter with the Minister. It seems that people from some countries are automatically refused on the basis of their location. The Minister should come into the House to explain policy in this area and amend it where appropriate to ensure that those who come here legally are entitled to bring their families and friends here for a short time.
