A lot of people seem to be denying the blatantly obvious Ireland connection here. 4 Irish people, Irish container, Irish-owned truck, the other driver was arrested in Dublin today ffs. It's clear as day it's some sort of Irish-related gang operating here.

Yep, it's as clear as daylight. A lot of people need to wake up and smell the coffee. Ireland is not the grand auld holier than though country people seem to think it is. From the Kinahans to the Quinn stuff on the border this is a small scale island where large scale criminality exists.

Well, it's unlikely to be linked to a well established legit High Street travel company.

No sh1t Sherlock, it was a Irish gang part of the post I was curious about because I'd seen no mention of it before this.

Most news reports saying the perpetrators are from Ireland.

None of them saying Northern Ireland or GB even though that’s where the truck driver is from.

Something sinister going on.

Obviously provos have a new revenue stream since the shinners cant be seen to be knocking off banks anymore

I just mean all the English channels trying to pin this on Ireland whilst Brexit is still going on.

Apologies if this was already answered . I’ve gone back over pages and pages but not the entire thread.
Who called the ambulance ? The only obvious person is the truck driver. But why would he do this if he complicit in this operation ?

What seems strange for me is how did/do these immigrants stump up the likes of the money figures quoted?

The likes of me or anyone reading this couldn't come up with that sort of cash. How on earth do dirt poor Vietnamese do it.

Not all immigrants or refugees are poor. Many could be considered middle class by our terms but lack travel documents due to restrictions from their government

All speculation but maybe he was opening the truck to let them out and found them in there and decided to do the right thing at that stage

Which in all probability they aren't. I'd imagine they 'were hired' as the transport side of the operation. The real kingpins will most likely never be apprehended.

We have arrested suspects seemingly from both sides of the divide. We have new posters popping up from early on trying to blame it solely on UVF crime gangs. I wonder if the crime gangs that have emerged from both sides of the troubles put their differences aside and work together if the price is right? Scumbags.

All the people arrested so far are Irish. What do you want the media to do, pretend that they’re not?!?

Oh yeah. Irish people wouldnt have the intelligence to organise that type of operation

questions that have not seemed to come up, Who is the truck now registered to, company, or person? Who is paying the arrested drivers wages? The truck has no sign writing on it, does he own it? They arrested the previous owner, where is the current owner, sounds a bit dodge

He was opening the back of the lorry expecting 40 Asians to jump out and leg it.
Maybe he did it a few times before and it worked out grand.
I can even see how he might have told himself that he was doing these poor people a favour, bringing them on the last leg of a long journey from a poverty stricken country to the Promised Land.
This time they didn’t jump out.
I believe he fainted.
They are all dead. His life is destroyed.

Just reporting what the police are saying.

Ireland is no more immune to criminality than anywhere else.

It appears to be the drivers. The last two posts on his FB are pics of the truck with a comment from him saying "Many hard hours to get that lad"

The organisers are gangs in China called Snakeheads . That’s why they’re saying that the organisers aren’t Irish.
Tell me something.
Is there any possible situation that can crop up where certain thick Irish people won’t flounce and huff and take offence at some insult they imagined happened in British TV? Because it’s getting beyond cringey at this stage.

partyguinness

Worth mentioning the truck is registered in Bulgaria although the angle is that is for tax purposes. Maybe that is normal in the industry.

He didnt own the truck so it is not his own personalised 'decor'. But I would like to see the link where is it shows a youngish lad like that from Armagh of all places linked to the UVF.

Mo Robinson from Portadown, with a DUP councillor speaking about what a nice family they are. Defintiely of the orange persuasion!

He’s got a video of a Protestant marching flute apprentice boys video on his Facebook page. His surname marks him out as Protestant. What does it matter anyway?

The way forward from here will be interesting, if they convicted 3 containers a week, say rough 100 souls, 50 weeks a year, equates to 5,000 immigrants.
Will every container be scruntinised, can every container be checked, this container was sealed so tracking it via the GPS will find the locations it went to.
Unfortunate that Irish people are associated with this, will only serve to strengthen Brexiteers
