Irish asylum seekers

ClintPower

I was surprised to learn a handful of chancers every year attempt to see asylum from our own war torn state, as seen at the bottom of this page.

Do you know anyone who has done it? What sort of reception do they get in the US, Canada Australia etc, is any degree of seriousness given to the application? One could certainly argue that members of the Hutch family, for example, have a genuine fear of death in this country and are no safer in any European state. Surely under UN rules they couldn't not be refused?

I'm assuming the host state doesn't give them 40 quid a week and free bed and board for up to 10 years while left wing activists insist these people should be given a house as their free accommodation isn't of a good standard. No other country would be that thick.

There were articles about it a few years back. I’ll try to dig them out. They were recently naturalised Irish citizens. One of them had their citizenship revoked.

As reported in Metro Éireann on 1 February 2013 (right), it is believed the five people are part of an unspecified number of cases under consideration for revocation including “at least one person, already a naturalised Irish citizen, who was refused asylum in Canada and was subsequently deported by the Canadian authorities.”

I know a Russian who was deported from America and Germany . He made his own tourist visa to come here and claimed asylum .He made up some story about writing articles against the government and claimed to be in danger in Russia . He got refugee status in 2002 and has not worked since .

23 Irish refugees

17 applied for Canada and 6 applied for Australia

That would be an interesting interview explaining why you are fleeing Ireland.

I hope one of them is Ray D’arcy who promised to leave

Why shouldn't bull**** tales go both ways.

Which is why Ireland is very attractive for "asylum seekers" from far flung parts of the planet. They bypass other western countries in order to get to our social welfare mecca of "free everything" for those entitled people who do not want to work or contribute to our society.

If I was a refugee fleeing my home land, genuine or not... I'd be looking for aslyum in Ireland to. Lots of free money to be collected at the post office every week, all my rent paid for, and lots and lots of other benefits. If social services ask me any awkward questions that could effect my free money, I'll tell them they are bullying me and that they are racist! The fear of being branded racist will make them put my name down to the bottom of the pile in case I kick up a fuss and go public about Ireland being a racist country damaging the reputation of the country abroad.

Plus the dopes who'll defend every chancer from the 3rd world coming here. In a few decades Ireland will have more mosques than post offices.

Are any of their surnames Hutch?
