    The Irish Republic may take in prisoners from Guantanamo Bay if it gets EU backing for the move, Justice Minister Dermot Ahern has said.

    New US President Barack Obama, who has previously called for the detention camp in Cuba to be shut down, signed an executive order today calling for the closure of Guantanamo Bay.
    Mr Ahern said the Irish government may be willing to resettle some of the remaining 245 Guantanamo detainees in Ireland.

    Whats your thoughts on this?
    They are not political refugees and are not proven guilty so why cant they return to their own country? If they are guilty some of them how do we know?
