How’d they get as far as Laois? Fake News.

How would you begin to search for them OP?

They jumped out of the back of a truck and did a runner. It's not like the Gardai have a last known address of a list of acquaintances. They wouldn't know their names, probably don't even know where they came from and probably only have a vague idea about what they look like.

So how would you propose that the Gardai search for them and how much resources do you think should be put into this search?

The article says that an investigation is ongoing - I guess that means that the few details they have are in PULSE and they'll look again if anything shows up on the system.
That's probably the appropriate response.

Soft touch! They should be hunted down and shot by the army or theyll all be over!

Shoot them and then send their bodies to jail.

Send in Rambo to skulk the wilds of Laois and hunt them all down, one by one.

And deport them as soon as they've served their time.

I saw a fella of African descent on the M1 motorway between the port tunnel and the M50 junction the same day. Looked very suspicious, anyone else see him?

Jaysus you get very defensive. Maybe it's just me but I'm not particularly happy about 5 people like that wandering the countryside. But sure leave them off, and the next truck, and the next truck.

And then I'm going to go out searching for them. Woe betide anyone I see who happens to look a bit foreign, that's all I can say.

That's the spirit, go get anyone that doesn't look like a big thick bogger!

In Portlaoise they called to the address of a woman who had no TV license and took her to Mountjoy womens prison. It was the wrong person they arrested!

Sure they did!

Yeah I spotted him too, he was thumbing a lift, I picked him up. Turns out he's from Connemara.

No surprise. Leo Varadkar is weak on crime, weak on border controls, just weak in general. Time for him to resign.

I had a mate who saw the migrants getting out of the truck. He said it was Leo himself that opened the truck to let them out!
He even gave each of them a McDonalds voucher.

And also a pram for their kids. They left the pram at a bus stop though, because they can always get another one for free from off of the state.

The lads on the €2,000 (or so, estimate) €6m (circa) Garda helicopter that was out looking for them,
probably just ran out of spare change for the on-board charge coin meter.

There you go, 10k taxpayer cost on day 1 of what may become a regular occurrence, post-brexit.
Check you car boot, for additional weight, on your next booze cruise back from Holyhead/Cherbourg/Roscoff.

The Brits will be delighted to hear this, we're pushing for no border checks after Brexit between what will be an EU country and part of the UK and we can't even stop illegals getting in here on the back of a truck.

And to make it worse we can't even find them now that they are here, they could be rapists or murderers for all we know and nobody knows where they are.

Right, I've had my dinner. As soon as EastEnders is over, I'm going out to search for them. Actually, it'll have to wait til after tonight's second episode of Coronation Street.

Sure Simon Coveney was there with the keys to a 2018 Ford Galaxy and the keys to a 5 bedroom house as well for each of them.

They should be alright once they haven't any illegal garlic with them

When the gardai refer to searches they are referring to organised searches of a particular area. Searching the nearby fields is unlikely to yield much after 24 hours.

Feel a bit of pity for Hapax and Try Harder satirising some reaction from others on here that they've made up in their heads.

It just looks weird and stupid.

I'm satirising nobody. As soon as the RTE Nine O'Clock News is over, I'll be off searching for them.

It's probably more a feeling that you might get when taking corners at speed, that there might be a handful (x5 in this instance) of uninvited guests rolling around in the back of a van and some yelps too if you're heavy footed with the aul brakes and/or acceleration.

...On second thoughts (RTE eventually got around to publishing this story) https://www.rte.ie/news/leinster/2018/0803/982833-gardai-portlaoise/ and it's a full sized commercial transport lorry so no real way of knowing.

It is believed the lorry had travelled from Spain to Cherbourg in France before arriving in Rosslare by ferry. The Irish Road Haulage Association has called for the proper policing of foreign ports.

Why don't you look for them if you're so worried about it?

Probably embrace them into you buxom, harbour them at your home, and bask in the glorious feels.

I'll hand them in to the authorities. As soon as the Nathan Carter Show on RTE1 is over, I'll be out there, searching the streets for them.

Them guys in Calais trying to get onto trucks were a lovely bunch, hopefully it's some of them gentlemen. Apparently a lot of them were doctors and engineers, so theirs a very real chance they could help fix the HSE.
What's not to like?!!

If you're within walking/running/car-commandeering distance of this location:



Sure why not bolt down that open window at the back of the house/shed, before sundown (right about now).

What makes you think these particular people who you don't know are any worse then the thousands of other people in the country that you don't know!!

Would they not just eat their food? Why would they attack them? Cos they are savages?
