Gardaí carried out those actions a year after initially contacting the doctor about an investigation into a person from southern Africa who was seeking permission to enter Ireland and relying on correspondence from him to access the State.The doctor was subsequently questioned by the gardaí over alleged human trafficking offences, under the 2000 Illegal Immigrants Act and the 1998 Child Trafficking and Pornography Act.
The doctor claims that following the publication of stories in the media about his arrest as part of an investigation into alleged human trafficking last month, he received a letter from the HSE’s human resources section informing him that his employment had concluded and that he was to retire from his duties.
The doctor, who has for many years worked in various Irish public hospitals, also claims that while on suspension he was contacted by other medical personnel seeking his advice on clinical matters. He fears that the HSE’s decision will have a profound and damaging effect on his personal and professional reputation.
The matter came before Friday’s vacation sitting of the High Court. Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds granted the doctor’s lawyers permission, on an ex-parte basis, to serve short notice of the injunction application on the HSE. The judge, after making direction regarding the exchange of documents in the case, adjourned the matter to a date later this month.
