Speaking to BBC Radio Ulster’s Evening Extra programme, Mr Corrigan said: “We’re pursuing a judicial review against the trust, the PSNI, MI5 and the Scottish authorities to establish who is responsible for the decision not to give my client the emergency medical attention that he requires.”
He claimed that Mr O’Reilly’s human rights were being violated by denying him emergency care.
Mr Corrigan said that they are “not accepting” what is being said in the statement by the PSNI.
“The time is ticking about who is responsible. I would urge the authorities, including the Scottish authorities, to provide him with the emergency care that he needs”.
Mr Corrigan said it was an “arbitrary, unlawful decision” which restricted his client’s freedom of movement and that “there is no lawful basis to prevent my client” from travelling to Scotland.
Republican Network for Unity, a small political group with links to the dissident organisation Óglaigh na hÉireann, has said Mr O’Reilly is one of its members.
