Immigration and Ireland - MEGATHREAD *Mod Note Added 14/08/25*

Subject to a deportation order?

No problem, just refuse to give the Guards permission to take your fingerprints and you're fine!

Inspector Ray Dunne said the accused man was requested at the Cork district courthouse on June 24 to complete an identification form and asked for his fingerprints to be taken to assist in obtaining a travel document required for the purpose of deportation. “Mr Mbarak failed to cooperate and refused to supply the requested information on an ID form and did not consent to have his fingerprints taken,” Insp Dunne said.

The inspector said this was the defendant’s third conviction for the same offence.

We are a joke of a nation.

This story reminds me of the time I was in town doing a bit of shopping in a supermarket, when about a dozen Roma (all women and children) swarmed the place and just started stuffing goods into their bags while the security guard and staff faffed about, one ineffectually bleating that "the Guards have been called!". One of the Roma women literally laughed in his face and said, "you call your girlie police".

That's how we are viewed by these people, as a pathetic, weak and easily exploited bunch of fools and easy marks. They are not wrong.

Common sense prevails…for now

Appears that the Commission who took the case against the state are examining the whether they will appeal the decision - I suppose it’ll come down to the depth of their hatred for Ireland

Literally tried to open up the state to potentially thousands of cases costing the country ruinous amounts, self flagellating freaks

Any immigrant who doesn't get a house should be suing Roderic, he personally was the one who promised them all 'own door accomodation'.

You are wrong.

This was a statutory state body taking the Irish state to court under it's obligations under an EU charter.

The IHREC is not an NGO.

They exist as result of the Irish human rights commission act 2014.

That is not supported by statistics.

If we remove the Ukrainian immigrants from the last years available statistics you will see our immigration figures are broadly in line with UK and Netherlands etc.

So unless Roderic also tweeted about the UK and Netherlands his tweet did not have the impact you are suggesting.

In data terms anyway.

I'm sure you can ask this of chatgpt to verify.

Liam Herrick was on rte a while ago complaining about the decision, saying we have obligations to house everyone who arrives seeking asylum and if we can’t do that they are entitled to be paid damages. Says they are considering an appeal, no doubt who will be funding the inevitable appeal, the government again.

McDowell is a surprisingly good commentator, was a bit too arrogant to cut it as a top-level politician.

In all fairness the system is completely broken if asylum seekers can sue the Irish State for not providing them with accommodation, when the State can’t provide that for its own citizens. That’s insane. And obviously sensible people in governments need to be making sure it is reverses asap.

This is absolute despicable

In plain man’s language this means that even though the State has been challenged by Westmeath County Councilor Paul Hogan and supported by Councillors Aengus O’Rourke, Frankie Keena and John Dolan, and been forced to concede on the validity of the Statutory Instrument that provided the legal basis for the asylum centre in Athlone, and similar to those at Crooksling, Thornton Hall and elsewhere; that the new legislation will allow the State to ignore all of that and to proceed with the maintenance of existing or planned asylum accommodation centres on State lands. 

This is a very very dangerous precedence this government is taking and whole heartily anti democratic

This government wants to force these illegal IPAS centers down our throat

This is just wrong on so many levels. I've never seen a government in all my years acting like this, completely totalitarian state

People will roll over and take it like they always do, bar a small minority who are willing to protest outside proposed ipas centres in their communities, by and large, the majority of Irish people just don't seem to care. I don't know what it will take to get people to wake up to the destruction of the country.

Are you confusing nationality with ethnicity on purpose or by accident?
