O’Neill deportation may be stopped


Guinness PubFinder Ad

Police say that Roisin had a 0.197 blood-alcohol level when she left a bar and drove the wrong way on Interstate 476 early last September.

O'Neill, who is free on $1.2 million bail secured by real estate, came to the U.S. in January 1983 on a six-month visa. That April, he bought a .38-caliber Colt revolver.

O'Neill told the gun dealer that he was born in Irving, Texas, and gave a false date of birth, a story he used to purchase at least three more guns in subsequent years, according to the federal affidavit.

Prosecutors are also charging O’Neill with lying on several gun-purchase applications, paying some employees off the books at his bar, Maggie O'Neill's Irish Pub, in Drexel Hill from 1997 to 2006, and failing to file personal tax returns from 2005 through 2007.

During their investigation into O’Neill’s business, authorities discovered that O’Neill married his wife Eileen while still officially married to an American woman whom he married to gain residency in the U.S.
