A friend of ours is to be deported to Ireland although he has been a resident and tax payer in England for the last 45 years, his only crime is non payment of fines for driving offences for which he is currently serving a custodial sentence. When he comes out he is due to be deported...surely this cant be right. Any information much appreciated

EU citizens can be deported to other EU countries, unfortunately, though I've never heard of it happening to someone who has been resident so long. Usually it happens when someone commits an offence on holiday. I think your friend may be able to appeal this decision, especially if he has friends or family in England and no base in Ireland. Seek a second legal opinion for sure.

It depends on his 'status' in UK. There has to be more to this than you are admitting. If he holds and has always held an Irish passport he would have an harassment case. If he holds a UK passport well so do those Natwest bankers just deported to USA.
The UK does things its own way. It's all very well to know you are right, but to fight it through the courts is another thing. Ireland and UK have agreed extradition procedures and [if what you say is true] your friend may very well be wanted by the Irish police. 45 years is not a long time in Ireland! We Irish have memories that go back MUCH further than 1960. Try 1660!
Could your friend possibly have been doing IRA work as a hobby while living the life of a 'dacent worker paying his taxes'. He seems to me to be a little bit lawless in racking up parking fines, and going to jail for his 'principles' He would not be the first Paddy to be living out a few different lives concurrently!

There has to be more to it than that.Irishmen have served time for murder in the UK,and not been deported.Maybe he is trying to bluff his way out of a domestic situation or some-thing.You know,'Im being deported tomorrow,bye-bye',and slip off to another part of the country.Possible?

No, Ireland is part of the EU, so as an Irishman he can come and go as he pleases.

Any EU citizen is allowed to live anywhere in the EU - so surely they cannot stop him coming back to the UK.
