Australia attracts a certain type of person from Ireland. Some of the worst scumbags ive ever encountered have spent time there.

Oz for the wasters, Canada for the grafters, so they say...

I agree though. Visiting 'County' Bondi in Sydney was the only time in my life I have been utterly humiliated to be Irish. It really opens your eyes to see the pond life and dregs from every ****ehole sink estate and farm yard in Ireland swapping STD's in one small geographical area. I would even go so far as to say it altered my views on abortion.

Australia is not the world.

Come to South America, we're well liked down here.

Maybe they were selling roofies?

I started new thread in 'News' ... did see forum at the time

Well done Oz, Wish we could deport them as well .... they have tried their scams in europe, the states and now in Oz ... lets hope they try it in Syria or Iraq next

Dunno if it's already been mentioned but got a bit confused reading about this in the paper and had to reread it because the Australian Immigration minister giving the statement to the press about this case is called.....Michaelia Cash....I kid you not!

Not according to the Indo -

"“All were found to be in Australia on lawfully held visas, however, they were found to be working on visas with strict ‘no work’ conditions,” a statement said."

Can we have these people photographed at the airport and pics published in all newspapers so as the law abiding public of Ireland can see their faces and be aware of them?

mikeym · 23-01-2015 07:52PM

They should be deported to Saudi Arabia.

The Th!ng · 23-01-2015 07:53PM

Dump them into the sea a few miles offshore, let the sharks deal with them.

Sounds apt enough. I highly doubt they ever broke those terms either. If they did, it'd be a first.

What? You speak ingrish? Whah?

I think they should all be welcomed home with open arms, then they should be sent to a real life Battle Royale. Inis Mor will do the finest. Move over Tedfest.

White transit vans, living in a caravan park. Should have guessed.

Deport them to Wollongong

I was struck by the political correctness in the RTE account.

The thought did occur to me if perhaps these people has a knack for that kind of work, as I'm sure it also occurred to very many others, and indeed probably to the journalist if they had any curiousity.

With a bit of luck they will go straight to England as soon as they arrive back in Ireland.

All I know is that they are Irish and this will further damage the image of Irish people in Australia. People need to be responsible for their actions; they are primarily responsible for the ensuing "media storm". One of the Australian politicians referred to them as itinerant tradesmen or something along those lines; that line will resonate in Ireland. To the majority of the Australians, all they will remember is that they are Irish, and tar all Irish people out there with the same brush.

Says more about them than it does about the Irish in fairness
