Cork Man Who Faced Deportation From The US Reunited With Family
The Corkman who faced deportation from the US has been reunited with his family.
Keith Byrne from Fermoy was released from prison last night and returned home to his family in Philadelphia.
He overstayed the visa he used to enter the country in 2007, and was arrested recently by immigration officials.
But on Wednesday, a federal judge ordered the 37-year-old be released from detention, and given a stay on removal from America.
Fianna Fáil's foreign affairs spokesman, Niall Collins, welcomes the news.
