Irish MEPs to raise Richard O’Halloran case in Parliament

Two MEPs are calling on China to allow a Dublin businessman leave the country after he was subjected to an exit ban almost two years ago.

 

Richard O’Halloran from Foxrock hasn’t seen his family since February 2019.

 

He travelled to the country to resolve a row involving the Chinese owner of the aviation firm he worked for.

 

No allegation has been levelled at the 45-year-old but the Chinese authorities are refusing to let him leave.

 

MEPs Barry Andrews and Sean Kelly hope to raise the issue in the European Parliament.

 

Andrews says China should make a goodwill gesture, if it wants to do business with the EU

 

Out words: the parliament
