Michael McNamara: How did sex offender seeking asylum fly under the radar?

SUV: But we haven't got open borders!

if they had kept the 4000 a year deportations up there would be almost 45,000 less people in the country since 2012.. maybe even more than that as word would spread about chance of deportation if application is illegal

the pressure that would of relieved on the system would be massive considering we currently have 14000 homeless

Its rather ironic that its the Dublin convention that suggested asylum seekers should seek it in the first safe country they arrive in

What right do these economic migrants have to be here,much less now littering the grand canal? None in my opinion

Wheres the war in morocco and Egypt ? We go on holidays thrre for fecks sake

Morocco has a better train service than Ireland

Totally fed up with it

Time to second staff from less important government departments to deal with the expulsion paperwork and I agree with the poll published today,yes we should join with the UK and send them to Rwanda

Migrants crossing half of safe Europe to cross the channel is the greatest con of the modern world

Thats my opinion,it usen't be but it us now

Up to 70 tents there last night, up 30 on the previous, wonder what the number will be over the next few days?

Will you actually read it please and stop arguing black is white, you're unbelievable.

the Department of Justice says they were removed and returned to where they came from in black and white.

Would you mind expanding on this? According to the 2011 document, 3,700 persons were refused entry and were returned to their country of origin, as I understand it, that is the important information. In 2022, 9,240 persons were refused entry only…

South Georgian Core Residents Association for roysh racists?

And ironically we have an Irishman to thank for 'globalisation' in the first place - Peter Sutherland, known as 'the father of globalisation'.

Most sensible and sane people just stay away, it's why in a country of 5m or so you'll get a couple thou turning up or a couple hundred on the radical looney left side ….

these things attract nutters from both sides

600 asylum seekers arrived in the state in last 7 days. No hyperbole to say we are now in an emergency and the government is not taking action. We are overwhelmed.

I think one of the reasons we're not doing anything about AS-based inward migration is that comparatively low-skilled immigrants can no longer afford to move to Ireland and take up low-wage jobs due to the high cost of accommodation.

With IPA-based labour, however, with accommodation paid for, these individuals can take up lower-paying jobs, and therefore profits are increased for employers.

The problem though is that resources that may otherwise have gone into solving Ireland's housing crisis are instead being diverted towards profits of both employers seeking to keep wages down and those directly benefitting from supplying accommodation.

Irish citizens can also claim the dole in the UK.

This link shows that those refused leave to land can claim asylum . '' The IPO does not collate statistics relating to applications for international protection based on whether such applicants were refused leave to land or whether a person had valid documentation upon arrival at a port ''

This is a thread started here from 2019. For some reason there’s an issue is going to page one of any boards thread at the minute so I don’t know what the opening post (and page) says. De ja fecking vu

It'll only increase.

Its like leaving your bath tap on and letting it overflow. And you put towels around the bath to solve the issue. Then you keep changing the towels when they can't absorb any more water. But you don't turn the tap off.

There is absolutely nothing stopping people setting tents up anywhere. If they're moved, they'll merely set up elsewhere. And it'll continue on and on.

Also, I am of the opinion NGOs have specifically given advice to camp at this new location. Waterways Ireland own the canal paths. The Canals Act 1986, section 30, states tents are forbidden if erected for over a week in the same location. Only then can they be moved. And by Waterways Ireland. Nothing to say then they move to another spot on the canal and stay a week there and so on, if even moved by Waterways Ireland.

"2) Any such structure, tent, caravan or vehicle placed or used on canal property in contravention of this Bye-law may be removed and stored by, or on the authority of, the Commissioners.
