The Government have been quietly letting people in over the last 2 years and haven't given any explanation as to what checks are preformed to ensure that they are genuine.

The accused made a number of outbursts during the brief court sitting, at different points exclaiming: "I'm not gay", "F*** you" and "I'm no Muslim".

It’s so distressing. The thought of just trying to mind our own business and then being attacked. I’ve to go do some shopping tomorrow and I’m worked up about leaving the house. They can take our lives but not our souls. RIP To the young man who lost his life.

Not enough guards, not enough places to detain someone like this who in most cases would not be a threat to anyone. The guards wear a lot of hats + booting out illegal immigrants would seem like a minor part of their job. They start detaining people for anything but the shortest of periods prior to actually kicking them out, the assorted migrant rights groups and the lawyers who make money out of this stuff will be on their cases very, very fast I'd say. Yes, there are worrying things about this (and that case when someone who'd spend time here did a (terrorist) attack in the UK later on). It does not inspire confidence that there is a full handle on who is coming and going from the state, and its all just a little bit slipshod like many things in Ireland.

I'm actually surprised that this clown did this in the first place. The Keystone Cops will now have to up their performance and resources and personnel may finally get directed where its needed.
