You do know what majority means right?

South Africa isn't in the top 3 and Georgian and Albanian asylum seekers is a recent phenomenon based largely on changes to Visas in other countries, virtually all of them get rejected.

Virtually...?

It's a nice modern term,for sure,but as it's use these days infers,it might not be based upon reality...at least not the oul Georgians anyway...

Recently,Leo Varadakar drew the ire of the concerned citizenry and the Irish Refugee Council (not always a bad thing in itself) for referring to the sudden increase in specific nationalities appearing at the hall-door looking to enhance Irelands future...

Figures published by the International Protection Office, a branch of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, show 3,762 applications for international protection were received by the State until the end of September.

Almost a quarter, 875, came from Albanian citizens and 15 per cent, or 556 cases, from Georgia.

So c.40% of the applications were dodgy.

The trend of arrivals from so-called “safe countries,” such as Albania and Georgia has been evident for some time and has been a feature of figures published by the Department of Justice.

While higher numbers of arrivals from countries such as Syria, where people were fleeing war, were previously a feature of the asylum process, that has given way to higher numbers from so-called safe countries.

However,any politician who starts stating the "Bleedin Obvious" or drawing attention to blatant codology,runs the risk of getting the modern equivalent of a Belt of the Crozier,as in....

The Irish Refugee Council (IRC) has criticised Varadkar’s comments, saying that picking out “ nationalities is dangerous and to suggest that a country is de facto safe for all is very dangerous”.

The ye have it...the IRC has spoken,and Taoisigh really should Listen !

Anyway,fast forward from that I.T article (4th Nov),and the mist begins to clear....

https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/crime/gardai-smash-irishbased-crime-gang-linked-to-international-identity-fraud-network-38770858.html

The Irish-based gang is connected to a pan-European group, largely dominated by Georgian nationals, involved in the large scale production and distribution of false identity and travel documents, including passports, national ID cards and driving licences.

Well I never....:eek:

Good to see results emerging from a relatively short duration investigation,and hopefully it's success will ensure further funding to continue the programme.

Three Spanish police officers and the Garda liaison officer to Spain, who is based in Madrid, were also present this morning during the operation.

Similar police investigations into suspected identity fraud and the activities of an international organised crime gang are also under way in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Britain and Finland, with the assistance of Europol and agencies in the United States.

Operation Mombasa is described as a multi-jurisdictional investigation, that began here in late 2018 into the activities of foreign nationals, mainly Georgian, known to be resident in Ireland.

Many of the suspects involved are using false identity documents while living and working in this country for the past few years.

Why is this level of fraud possible ?....perhaps instead of ballyragging the Taoiseach,outfits such as the Irish Refugee Council should focus on their current customer base,rather than lobbying for more business to be sucked into our nicely fermenting vat.

This is now looking lake a larger scale stroke than had initially been suspected...

Gardai said inquiries established that a suspected network of two families from Georgia, living in Dublin, were allegedly producing and providing false documents to other people across Europe.

They said this organisation produced and distributed false documents, which helped foreign nationals to circumvent immigration laws for the purpose of entering Ireland and the UK illegally.

Inquiries showed that a large number of non Europeans had attempted to travel in this country using their false documents.

The final paragraph could indicate a greater threat than many might initially think,particularly in the area of Cyber Crime and Identity Theft.

With the help of a senior analyst, they established the identities of suspected members of the organised crime gang here and crucial data and evidence was secured from various money transfer services, financial institutions and parcel delivery services, allegedly linking the group to crimes.

That's a grand wee Triumverate to begin with....pay attention to those labels on the oul Amazon boxes ye throw in the Green Bin !

Full marks to Leo Varadakar and the Europol/Garda team who got this to the end,a good result all round.

Did they ever find them migrants that disappeared?

They were never really migrants,immigrants or ants even....they were at all times "Victims" and Guests of our Republic.

They were offered shelter,succor and any other assistance required,but chose instead to ramble on.....Slán Abhaile....(or wherever )

i'd like to see the EU return to the EEC, and to drop this federal BS they're so in love with, along with it's desire to take control of Europe's cultural future. I'd also love to see the EU stop growing, and to focus on helping it's current member states rather than inviting countries that will need substantial development both economically and culturally. I cannot see why the Balkan are being encouraged to join... that's a clusterfcuk of problems.

I'd mostly agree with you, except for the EU army. It's a good opportunity to maintain close links with other countries since those in the military tend to form the best connections between nationalities. There's also the aspect that Europe cannot rely on the US to hold it's interests. While I don't see any trouble from Russia, I would suggest that Europe needs something to defend itself from the South, should they ever get their act together. It's a useful deterrent, and reduces the pressure on countries like Italy to maintain a force just to protect all the rest of us.

I agree with everything you posted bar the EU army. I just don't like the idea of it.

One would imagine they would issue a description if they wanted to locate them. I wonder would they be "of tanned complexion" as the Gardai do be sayin

"Zanyar Rasul Ahmadi arrived in Ireland with eight other asylum seekers & was discovered in the back of a lorry ... all of the others have received permission to remain in Ireland"

So, basically, the authorities in Ireland are now facilitating and rewarding people smuggling. The current batch of lorry jumpers will get to stay too.

Expect this to continue and numbers to increase.

That story really highlights the fact that the asylum process is becoming less of a desperate attempt to find safe haven and more of a pick and mix between the countries with the nicest options available.

How have they made that into a poor me/bad DP story.

He's claiming asylum from France, Germany and Austria

Funny how all the Irish politicians bow and scrape at the Whitehouse every Paddys day to beg the US to normalise the illegal Irish though...
