    An enormous child safety alert has been issued over a child predator who arrived in Dublin yesterday with a suitcase of full of toys.

    Frenchman Philippe Gandus, who was convicted of trying to abduct a three-year-old child, flew in from Cologne in Germany yesterday morning, prompting many security fears.

    The warning was issued because of his conviction and gardaí were notified of his arrival into the country by German police.

    At Dublin Airport, Gandus was questioned about the reason for his visit. His suitcase was also searched.Officers were alarmed to find that as well as clothes, it contained children’s toys.

    Gardaí fear that the Frenchman, who is on the sex offenders’ list in the UK, still poses a risk to children, and yesterday warned parents to be on the lookout for him.

    However, they are powerless to deport the 46-year-old – who previously fled a mental hospital – as he has no outstanding warrants internationally or convictions in Ireland.

    Gandus, who is 5ft7in tall, has a criminal conviction in the UK for attempting to lure a child away from his parents.

    If only he were here on an expired student visa. Gards would have had him in cuffs the moment he stepped foot in Ireland.

    But he is not, he is an EU citizen and just like our own Larry Murphy is entitled to travel freely within the EU.
    Basically this just overhyped nonsense.

    Staying in a hostel, his photo should be emailed to every hostel hotel and b&b in the country outlining his history.

    Because it's After Hours...

    Because it's Sunday...

    Maybe because Ireland already has loads of sex offenders and psychos able to go about their business. One more isn't going to make much difference.

    Overhyped nonsense this story may be - but just as a legal point, the right of freedom of movement can be withdrawn from individuals, as it already has been for him in the UK under the "public policy, public security or public health" provisions.

    Why are you ranting about the Gardaí when the only source you have for their position on this is the Sunday World, which you summararily dismiss?

    Incorrect.

    My only source was you:confused:

    BUT upon some googling it appears you are correct. That person has been convicted of crimes.

    If I meet him on his holiday, then I'll be the last person he ever meets.

    Sorry for being facetious earlier but it's After Hours so you can forgive me. Thanks for posting that picture.

    I'm out of this thread now so I don't get a ban.

    I find it tough to believe that he entered the country with a suitcase full of toys. That sounds like bull**** along the lines of and they leave the buggies at the busstop joe cause the social will give them a new one. Now should a convicted dangerous criminal be allowed into ireland freely, no. But i find some of the ridiculous exaggerations take away from the seriousness of the situation. It
