Foreign nationals imprisoned for serious crimes were asked to deport themselves after doing time.

Gript and with no source provided.

Hmmm.

If it were true, the taxpayer should not have to pay for their transport back home.

It's red tape for the most part. We don't exist in a police state with a whole department of heavies whose job it is to track down and deport people.

I haven't watched the video because Gript, but the deportation process in Ireland involves giving the individual the option to leave the country voluntarily before a deportation order is made. This is likely the process that's in place here that they're doing a Helen Lovejoy about. It's not a "disaster waiting to happen", it's just conservative nutjobs wetting themselves over prison and foreigners. A twofer.

From the point of view of the prison service, they have no basis on which to continue to detain the person after they've served their time.

Decent overview of the process here: https://berkeleysolicitors.ie/the-deportation-process/

Gatling's figures are unlikely to be correct. Especially given this article from 2003 which claims 1,400 were deported in 4 years: https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-10034463.html

Here's another more recent one saying the number was 600 deportations over 3 years; https://www.thejournal.ie/deportation-2-2-million-euro-5381299-Mar2021/

I can well believe there may be 11k orders outstanding, but the vast majority of them would have already left the country and we're just unaware of it. Unless someone is willing to live in a hovel doing cash jobs only and without access to transport, healthcare and basically most of society, then they're going to fvck off somewhere else.

So in other words she is a minister for justice who doesn’t see a whole lot wrong with breaking the law, at least this law.

she’s been the minister for justice since 2020 if my memory serves me and she has done a whole lot of nada to make this country any safer…

the only reason for the very negligible fall in crime stats has been the pandemic.

feck all will ‘self deport’….like if I robbed a shop, will I ‘self arrest’ ? In cloud cuckoo land, her voters not her and her party they know exactly what they are at.

Himself and his "target" audience really do seem to hate that lady.

It's a strange Blog site all the same.

So since she got the job deportations have fell to zero over previous years when she wasn't minister ...

So no real argument there

Because of a once in a generation pandemic.

This isn't hard follow. They didn't try to hide that fact.

So again, what is your actual problem?

But what's reported is true regardless

But again if it's true ...

Vs the silent Irish MSM

Costs about 70 grand to keep a prisoner locked up for a year.

just get them the cheapest arsed flight home, economy, dead of night, 4 legs on the one ticket….

Dublin - Heathrow - Munich - Juba

Not reporting that Deportation orders issued by the courts are then being ignored by a minister , meanwhile she plucks a random number out of the sky on how many illegals are here ,and refuses to answer questions ...

And the only come back it anyone asks about it is a raving neo Nazis
