Peter Ivan Dunne said the danger of a reaction – especially to red onions – meant his human rights would be breached if he was sent to an Irish prison because it could not guarantee his meals were free from onions. He told two judges at the High Court in London that his experience of Irish prison food proved there was ‘a real risk, or near certainty’ his dietary needs would be ‘routinely ignored’. This would violate his Article 2 ‘right to life’ under the European Convention on Human Rights.
