Jozef Puska guilty of murder of Ashling Murphy (Mod notes and threadbans in op)

Jaysus. Imagine being a fly on the wall in that cell.

Maybe little Woddy O’Gorman and wee Helen maccers will drop in to say hello..

According to today's Sunday Times, Puska is likely to be deported after he serves his sentence.

I wonder how many times this removal order has been enforced since 2004? It's the first time I've ever heard of it.

When we live in a perfect world people irrespective of gender will cease to injure each other. Until we have attained this Camelot, this Utopia, parents will say anything they think will protect their children. They don't give a flying hoot about how outdated, sexist, prejudiced or uncool these remarks may sound.The thing is that George expressed his unwoke opinions not at home but to audience of millions.

No way I could see that happening. He’ll have a legal team claiming his kids are Irish, so therefore their father should be allowed stay here.

Now whether he’d want to stay here, and whether he would have any peace after he’d be released, is another thing.

The words that would concern you…. ‘ have the power ‘ & ‘ likely to be banned ‘…

how about……

“ will be deported immediately and put on a watch list and prohibited from re-entering this country “

this man tracked a young girl, stabbed the young girl 11 times in the neck …

absolutely zero advantage to allowing him to remain in Ireland.

heres the extra.ie article

Puska was a convicted sex offender and ‘person of interest’ in two other assaults on women https://extra.ie/2023/11/11/news/puska-record

it would be good of the government to clarify if anything that should have been done wasn't

I wasn't some random person, I was in charge of the flight and had to talk with the detectives as we do all the times in these situations. Believe me or not I don't care, I was just pointing out that it happens.

No actually. Under EU law we are not obliged to allow a EU citizen to live here after 3 months unless they can provide for themselves. Maybe it’s time we started enforcing that rule. There’s a good chance Ashling would still be here if we did.

One of the newspapers talked to someone from Puska’s home town and they said if you don’t work there, you don’t have a good standard of living, whereas in Ireland you do.

Question is how many EU citizens were prevented from immigrating here?

I think this is what worries people. Whatever the finer details of his case, right or wrongs, he was given a deportation order in 2017.

Still in the country in 2023 and even then self deports himself.

I don't think there is a lot of confidence in how we deal with this generally.

Still in the country in 2023 and even then self deports himself.

The article is from July 2019.

The Nigerian-born striker flew out of the country on Tuesday to join Vietnamese club Ho Chi Minh City

In April 2017, Akinade was issued a deportation order. His application to have the deportation stopped was rejected in the High Court in May 2019.[18] He returned to Nigeria voluntarily in June

I've no idea why how it relevant anyway, Puska was not subjected to a deportation order.

All an appeal will do is enrage his parole board and keep him in prison for longer... Not a bad outcome some might argue

Given that the life sentence for murder in this country is mandatory (except when the murderer was less than 18 years old at the time of the crime), what was the point of delaying the sentencing of Puska until today for victim-impact statements when they make no difference to the sentencing? It makes murder cases go on in court for longer and thus causes a backlog of cases.
