Asylum Seeker protest on Kinsale Road. Mod warning in OP.

The applicant was asked why she was claiming asylum here. Her answer was fleeing an abusive husband. This is what has been posted. I take it that this is what the applicant actually said. You couldn't make it up.

You've nothing to prove the claims aren't true. We've seen that similar prior claims have been considered legitimate by the Integration Centre.

That is not being dishonest.

But you weren't 'giving out' - you were falsely accusing them of something.

tolerant from cork wrote: »

I didn't accuse anyone.

Oh yes you did.

And again you are not an appointed body or organisation to see any evidence containing personal details. Therefore you won't see it as it would be against regulations.

There's that, or the distinct probability that you were engaging in some fabricated hyperbole.

fair enough... to be honest I don't think the majority of us here wish to see confidential information... I guess in your job you do access a lot of information which is highly confidential....

I know a middle eastern woman who received refugee status in Ireland and went on to marry an Irish citizen... she never divulged the fact that she is a refugee to her husband as she is ashamed of it. Both are highly educated people who hold highly esteemed jobs in Ireland and have PhDs etc but her husband has no idea of her original basis of coming to Ireland.... its due to this fact I applaud that the general public can only access certain areas of the centres.

Also, if there are 3 to a room I wouldn't like my room mate to be bringing back friends etc where my personal items are being kept...

Is this application approved? No.
Is anyone advocating for asylum on those grounds? No.

And why would someone granted asylum be still resident in a direct provision centre? Taken at face value, of course.

Because it is very hard for them to find houses to rent. RIA gives them one month after they get their status to find a place. I now of cases that 3 months later they are still in the centre. And than that bad hated management turns a blind eye to it and let's them stay.

This is just it. Ireland has to deal with these kind of bogus and ridiculous claims, and there are people who would advocate her right to stay based on this.

"Is anyone advocating for asylum on those grounds? No"

How can you know that nobody is advocating asylum on these grounds?

They are still only claims and the person accused stays innocent until proven otherwise.

Because you can't point to anyone doing so. So why pretend otherwise? And we are obligated to treat all asylum applications equally - even the ones that fail.

Refugee: “any person who owing to well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country” (United Nations Convention on Refugees, 1951)

quote="alastair;92300516"]So - essentially no-one advocating asylum on the basis of domestic abuse, or any evidence of successful asylum application on that basis. Right so.[/quote]

Domestic abuse as in any other country in the world can be sorted with a DIVORCE or local police intervention.... no need to run to the other side of the world... the next city would suffice

and no, I don't think it fits the criteria. ..

Aside from your vivid imagination - care to produce a third party advocating asylum on the basis of domestic abuse? Because if you can't - it's provably best not to accuse people of doing so. Straw man arguments and all that.

Her new friends in the community? Not possible that they could advocate? Get your head out of the ground and face reality. There are legit asylum seekers and bogus ones. It's not ONLY the legit ones who are being supported and backed. Wake up.

She wouldn't be deported before the appeals/judicial review process runs it's course.

Because, strangely enough, asylum applications aren't judged on the spot at the airport. Something to do with just application of the law.

Well,erm...although not (as yet) physical abuse related,this item has a few relevant issues worth noting....

http://www.evoke.ie/homepage3/jacqueline-conway-irish-mother-warns-women-not-to-marry-an-asylum-seeker/

Samson Adeoye, 25, first arrived in Ireland in 2009. He claimed asylum here saying that he had been forced to flee Nigeria after his entire family were murdered by a local tribe.

After a romance of just eight months, the happy couple decided to tie the knot.

At the time Jacqueline described her wedding day on September 17, 2010, as the happiest day of her life.

Following a two-year campaign by Jacqueline, Samson was allowed by the Government to return to his wife and child on December 27, 2012.

But just one month later Jacqueline reported her husband to gardaí for allegedly mistreating their daughter.

She said: ‘He completely changed when he returned to Ireland. He was always on the computer, he never wanted me to leave the house and he was abusive to our daughter.

At least the cruel,uncaring Irish State has'nt abandoned this gentleman to fate....

When contacted, Samson denied that he had done anything wrong. ‘None of my family is alive. They were all murdered. The marriage is over, she doesn’t want me in the house. He now lives in Carlow on on job- seeker’s allowance.

Ane we even get to read of an old favorite involved on the periphery...

Posted By : Reprise:- I don't recall anything as sustained since dear Pamela Izevbekhai and her groupies almost wiped out all goodwill for asylum seekers in 2011. God knows if a security guard had burst into her room unannounced - I bet she would still be here and very well rewarded by the State for any inconvenience.

Pamela Izevbekhai, Samson said: ‘I know Pamela from when we were in Sligo.She was at my wedding,she was the one that made the arrangements.
To be honest she is a very good woman, she saw that she can help this country and she did everything for my wedding to be in order.’

So Pamela Izvebekhai "made the arrangements" for what is now being described as a sham-wedding...:eek:

My marriage was nothing like I thought it would be. People warned me not to marry him but I didn’t listen. He has told me nothing but lies. He told me he used me for citizenship.’

An interesting addendum to the debate sure enough.....;)

Well she has backers... namely Residents Against Racism and the Anti Deportation Ireland members who would protest on behalf of this lady if the State did try to remove her I bet... they have unrealistic requests of the State to completely abolish deportations...

A buddy of mine (Irish lady) was recently deported from India as her visa expired. Obviously the lady was a not a burden on India and with a population of over a billion and with 2 million orphans you think India has bigger fish to fry... just goes to show....

Again - I'm not seeing anyone advocate for asylum for victims of domestic abuse. 'Put up, or shut up' seems appropriate here.

to ask her her basis in coming to the country and this basis should be basis she is expected to prove in court to claim asylum... if she is telling the people of Cork on live radio she came to the country fleeing an abusive husband and sees nothing wrong with that... then maybe, just maybe, she said this on entering the country and should have been turned away...

No doubt you'll confirm the support of these groups for asylum on the basis of domestic abuse, with some statements to that effect from them?

You ask for evidence that people are seeking asylum on the grounds of domestic violence. Can you show any evidence that they don't?
You are right here, it's not a court, it's a tread where nobody has to show you anything. If you are in doubt that they are telling the truth ... well that's your problem.

Asylum applicants don't have to prove anything at the airport - just confirm their asylum application and provide general information for the later interview to determine the merits of the application.

She wouldn't be turned away at the airport for an inappropriate asylum application - only for not meeting the requirements for seeking asylum in the state.

I doubt 'Cecelia' would have to tell RAR and the ADI lot her story to garner support all you gotta say is they want to deport me and they will support her...
Just showing deportation is an end process for immigration in every country in the world and should be taken seriously here if its taken seriously even in developing countries.... is my friend back in Ireland screaming "Racists racists!" about the Indian people... funny when Europeans are deported from America or Australia (even India!) the old racism card is never used...

I never said she had to prove anything... just give her basis for seeking asylum at the airport.. surely this basis HAS to match the basis she applies for in the court or else she is fraudently trying to enter the state by giving false info to immigration officials who have the power to allow her into the State or refuse the right to land...

Scare quotes! And more supposition on your part. Still no meat on those bones though.

Asylum seekers and immigrants are distinct groups. Was your friend attempting to emigrate to India? Or is it the case that they're neither?

Who suggested the outline of her case changed at any point? The immigration officials only needed to determine that she was seeking political asylum, that such an application is forwarded to the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner, or that she should be making that application in a different state. That's the extent of their responsibilities with regard to asylum seekers.
