I've seen him interviewed a few times and he seems a very likable young fella.

Brilliant video of him playing hurling of the walls of Stormont, Paisley would be turning in his grave
Can't understand why he went to the airport today when he got the email refusing his entry yesterday.

Ah, didn't know that. Why was he refused?

He says because he was born in Iraq, it seems strange to be honest. Afaik he can't travel on an ESTA because he is also an Iraqi national so he would have to have applied for a B1/B2 visa which can only be issued in the Embassy in Dublin and he would have got a yes/no at the appointment stage.

Because he was borne in Iraq

Iraqi citizens are allowed to enter the US though.

Well obviously not in this case. Border customs agents at Dublin airport said no....Maybe he needs a special " im not a terrorist" form filled out, signed and witnessed at a local garda station!

Not with out a correct visa.
