Taxi driver accused of sexually assaulting Limerick student gets his passport back

TheManTheMyth

A taxi driver who has been charged with sexually assaulting a student is giving his passport back by the Judge. His brief said "his client’s elderly mother is unwell and that the visit could be the last time he will see her alive" Judge complied with the request. So whats the chance this guy will return?

Seems a crazy decision for such a serious crime and we don't have an extradition treaty with Nigeria.

If he never comes back again it’s not the worst result in the world either, he can be Nigeria’s problem.

Or he just comes back with his documents "lost" en route and gives a false name to get on the asylum merry go round again.

He’ll need to lose his fingerprints too.

Do we fingerprint all Asylum Seekers in Ireland and check the match with a database of crime suspects?


I see no reason to assume that we do but I'd be happy to be proven wrong if you have any information on this.

Edit: I stand corrected. We do record fingerprints of Asylum Seekers in Ireland as part of the Eurodac system. However this seems to be primarily for the purpose of clarifying the applicant's first country of entry to the EU and it is unclear if fingerprints are cross-checked with Garda criminal records or whether this man's fingerprints were taken as a suspect in this reported crime. Also Eurodac records are wiped 2 years after one receives a residency permit or leaves the country.

Because he's as Oirish as Padraig Seamus O'Flaherty, Don't you know.

The man is not guilty of any crime at this point. He has been charged, we don't even know the circumstances surrounding the case and here we have people saying he is guilty already.

There are a lot of decent, honest, hardworking people living in this country who came from Nigeria.

Who would most likely be as disgusted as anyone else if a family member or friend was sexually assaulted and the only suspect was given leave to travel to a non-extradition country before the trial.

I know that's a thing, but how does that even work doesn't the Airline know who they are?

Online searches don't find any mention of it. The website of the Immigration and Naturalisation Service details that it is required for visas from some countries but does not describe it when documenting the asylum process.

We and every country in Europe finger print asylum seekers.

It was literally the very first search result when I searched for "fingerprint asylum seekers ireland" . It's the second result for "fingerprint asylum seekers".Maybe you need to learn how to use google.

People generally do not get on an international passenger flight without identification so the conclusion is that it is disposed of between boarding and presenting to customs in the destination country. Without documentation the applicant is free to spin virtually any yarn of being from a particularly dangerous or oppressive place, regardless of the truth.

Thanks for the info. No need to be passive aggressive.

Given the amount of times that people ask leading questions like that to try and (for example in this case) scaremonger and pretend to care under guise of 'seeking information', being passive agressive is perfectly reasonable.

I've seen your edit by the way, and it doesn't change the way I get the impression you're coming at this topic. Most people would have left out the 'however' part.

I could be wrong, no big deal.

My question was relevant to the discussion, which was about the accused in a sexual assault case being given leave to go to a non-extradition country before his trial.



I'm not convinced that the Eurodac fingerprinting system will be sufficient to prevent an accused from going on the lam and re-entering under a different identity. I outlined my reasons why and neither you nor anyone else has even attempted to rebut them.


This purports to be a discussion site. Passive-aggression and accusing people you disagree with of scaremongering and ulterior motives simply shut down discussion, to the detriment of the site.
