THE first man to be prosecuted in Ireland for intentionally infecting someone with HIV has been booted out of the country, it has emerged.

The Sunday Mirror has confirmed that the man was deported on Tuesday.

The move came 18 months after he had a conviction and 10-year jail term for infecting two women in Dublin with HIV quashed by the Supreme Court - following a legal saga stretching back to 2018.

The failed asylum seeker was served with deportation orders earlier this year - and sources have confirmed to us that he was finally removed on a flight from Dublin Airport on Tuesday.
