I would not be worrying about this little scut when the country and the Irish people living here have enough to worry about.

I suppose he is worth a packet to some human rights lawyers but that is not the sort of value most people look for in a situation.

Not forgetting my selfie-stick of course.

If I could link it I would put it up.

There is nothing magical about it, he is an Irish citizen.

Who happened to get involved in a riot and who's reason for being there were dubious at best.

What magic? Are you trying to pretend he isn't an Irish citizen?

He was a 17 year old child at the time of his arrest, and whether you like it or not he is an Irish citizen.

He is not being allowed due process or access to a fair trial.

I cannot see how that is acceptable to you.

According to Amnesty International observers he was taking refuge in a mosque at the time of his arrest and there is no way that he could have been involved in firing shots at security forces.

He has dual citizenship.
