Consider that over 18651 came as asylum seekers in 2024 and 13099 decisions 3888 were positive . This leaves 14763 refused a large number are they still allowed to remain in IPAS cenetrs and do they voluntarily return .

There's very little I could point to in Ireland that's efficiently run.

Add in the incessant bleeding heart lobby that we have developed in this country and it all points to very little positive action regarding clearing out the chancers.

Not a particularly nice sight but that's clearly the type of scene you need to get comfortable with to have cities free of beggars and degenerates.

Not something the champagne socialists that have infected our media would allow here.

Well, I am unspeakably happy that armed Swiss police surrounded a "Middle Eastern looking man with a leg deformity" who sounds like he posed a pretty material threat to society which absolutely justified said actions by the police. If only the bleeding hearts would let us have the same response to beggars with deformities in Ireland I guess we would all be happier.

Having said that, in my 11 years living in Dublin I've never actually come under any harm or threat of harm by any beggar, Middle Eastern looking or otherwise. I'm sure others have I guess, but I'm not sure we are at the red alert stage of armed Guards having to surround some guy sitting on a footpath asking people for change. In fact, it's the gangs of youths — mainly white and apparently Irish — running amok about the place who have caused me the most bother (though nothing I've particularly lost sleep over, for my own part).

Gotta love Rte, a further follow up bleeding heart story on it today. Can they string it out for the weekend - stay tuned.

Any convicted criminals on board the flight lads?

A f@#k up by immigration officials? On the basis of claims by the woman getting deported, yeah I'll take that with a dollop of salt

But we aren't really new to this, it started around 1999 but it's just the numbers have increased a lot over the last 3 years.

Governments just decided to ignore immigration when the numbers were around 7 k but its only now they are trying to do something.

Deportations are taking too long for various reasons but allowing numerous appeals which we are paying for isn't helping to speed up the process.

And the left leaning parties like SF Labour and the SDs will go at the government all day long about housing but have nothing to say about this subject.

Ive said it before, if the SDs or Labour ever get a say on immigration this country is finished.

How the hell are both these parties so successful in Dublin when the city is getting hammered worse than anywhere else with the numbers arriving every week.

Nobody would ever be deported if every kid who is here for a year was allowed to stay.

Or sounds like she was telling porkies. Remember, every refusal is confirmation with evidence that the applicant lied that they were a refugee and needed asylum. So lying comes natural to many fake AS's.

Can someone tell me why these ‘international obligations’ don’t extend to the US and Australia? Pat Kenny was interviewing the Minister for Immigration yesterday and he said that if you pitch up at immigration in the USA or Australia with no documents, you’re not let into the country. Here they just have to say they’re claiming asylum and our ‘international obligations’, according to the Minister say we have to let them in. Are the USA and Australia not subject to the same ‘international obligations’ ?

You may be able to check here whether the USA or AUS signed the Treaty:

https://www.unhcr.org/about-unhcr/overview/1951-refugee-convention

Refugees are in extremely vulnerable circumstances, lacking the protection of their own countries and facing immense challenges to their safety and well-being. The 1951 Refugee Convention, supplemented by its 1967 Protocol, help protect them.

EDIT: I checked, and AUS signed the Treaty in 1954.

Given the scale of AS here, should we not purchase an aircraft, instead of chartering one?

Would that not be cheaper?

There are tens of thousands of AS, even with 100 per flight, there should be hundreds of flights.

Are any existing Air Corps aircraft suitable?

Why spend thousands of euro on a deportation flight that carries only a few dozen people to Nigeria? There are thousands of scammers from Nigeria in Ireland who should have been deported long ago, and they'd get a few 100 into a chartered flight.
