Irish man released from Australian detention centre

Calahonda52

Bernard Lee did not disclose criminal conviction in Ireland to Australian authorities
so he lied!
http://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/irish-man-released-from-australian-detention-centre-1.2747944
His lawyer:
“My view is that his non-disclosure [of his criminal conviction in Ireland] when filling in his passenger card, is at the lower end of seriousness, given he had resided in Australia for seven years. It is pretty over the top to cancel without notice and take someone to immigration detention".

Should we arrest some Aussies and send them back on the return flight or just be glad they got beat in the rugby by the Old enemy?

Follow the rules and you'll be grand. He lied. Not something you wanna do with respect to immigration. 7 years down the sh1tter.

He also committed drink driving offences while in Australia.

Then tried to court public sympathy for his situation by only telling half the story.

Perhaps Ireland should adopt a similar policy of returning migrants who commit crimes to their home country

If Australians break the law in a similar manner and fail to disclose relevant information, then of course they should be sent back.

If you mean some tit for tat thing with no grounds, obviously not, presume you are not being serious.

Oh great, just what we need....another asshole in the country.

Winterlong

You want to go to their country- expect to play by their rules and don't complain you discover their sentencing is harsh.

I would expect that same from any immigrants coming to this country.

Let's be clear here:

Mr Lee has been convicted of criminal offenses in both Ireland and Australia, including drink driving and driving without a license.

He should never be let behind the wheel again. I hope he has to serve a lifetime driving ban wherever he resides.

Serial offender for the same offence.
He's a gowl, we should block the deportation on the grounds that they have to keep him as we don't want him.

If they commit crimes, then send them back. Australia leads by example of how the treat immigrants. Get tough on them.

He lied on his initial visa application and then went onto drink drive again in Australia. No sympathy for him especially since I heard him on the radio and he went on to say that it was "just a drink driving charge."

Idiots never learn and repeat drunk drivers are some of the biggest idiots of all.

Even when he was attempting to gain the Irish publics sympathy he came across as a knacker.

Lee says the reason for his detention is “just a drink driving charge from nine years ago in Ireland, I hadn’t declared it on the incoming passenger form at the airport”.

If it was 'just a drink driving charge', why are they deporting the eejit.

Not just a drink driving charge if he can lie about it.

One of our own idiots

He was also done for drink driving twice in Australia and driving without a licence and obstructing police so a little more to the story.

In the aftermath it emerged that Lee has criminal records in both Ireland and Australia for drink driving, driving without a licence, and police obstruction.

Well I guess all that doesn't matter because on his girlfriend's facebook page, she was boasting how he was coming 'home' this week. Home being Australia.

Home being Ireland. He'll probably never get into Australia again. They don't mess around.

Yep, I read it wrong. She said he would be returning home on a flight. I didn't understand how she was calling it home when she's an Aussie.

Billy86

There are a bunch of these lads in Australia, out acting the gobsh*te with tío much drink in them and having no respect for the locals (Aussies are less fond of getting messy drunk than some might think) and then turning around about how unfair Australia is, crying into a TV3 mic about how the locals don't like us etc. Truth is the Aussies do like us, they just don't like gobsh*tes like this.
