News At One: Martina Fitzgerald speaks to students who protested outside the Dáil this morning in support of Olunkunle Eluhanla
The Teachers' Union of Ireland and the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, the Most Rev Diarmuid Martin, have joined calls for the return of deported Nigerian student Olukunle Elukanlo.
Earlier today, over 200 people took part in a rally outside the Dáil to demand his return to Ireland.
The 19-year-old had been due to sit the Leaving Certificate examinations at Palmerstown Community College in west Dublin this June.
He was deported last week along with 79 others.
The Minister for Justice, Michael McDowell, has insisted that the deportation order will not be reversed.
