    News on Jim, who plays tin whistle in Blood or Whiskey....
    Two weeks ago when Jim set off on the european tour with
    Blood of Whiskey and he was using a fake passport.
    When he arrived in Belgium they scanned it under an
    ultraviolet scanner and spotted straight away that it
    was a fake. They deported him to Ireland where he was put
    in jail and then charged with having a fake passport and
    being a non-national with no ID ( a crime here I guess).
    They sentenced him to six months, suspended as long as he
    accepted his deportation. So he was sent back to Cloverhill
    prison to await deportation. The gardai took him out and
    brought him to the passport office and had a new passport
    made up and booked a flight and brought him to the airport
    to take his flight to America.
    What happened then was that he was sitting in departures
    waiting for his flight and some Gardai walk up and serve him
    with extradition papers to the UK to face charges for attacking
    a cop in the London J-day riots. So he was rearrested and brought
    back to the prison while the extradition process happens. He thinks
    that when the gardai brought him to the American embassy to go over
    his papers for deportation the yanks spotted that he was wanted in
    England and pulled the two gardai he was with aside and told them and
    that he was set up at the airport, maybe because its not allowed to
    be served papers in the prison? So now he intends to fight the
    extradition to try and stay as long as possible as he can in Ireland.
    Any time he serves here will probably count against any time he serves
    in England. He thinks that he may face between six and eight years in
    England if his appeal fails but the charges could be dropped or the
    maximum is thirty years so who knows. He will be in Cloverhill for
    the nest few months anyway and he would appreciate all the contact
    he can get to stave off the boredom so contact him at

    Sorry man, I'm just astounded that someone would actually try use a fake passport to get into a different country, rather than just use it to get booze underage.
