    Until mid-July, some 1,067 deportation orders have been issued, up from 948 for the entirety of last year, and 270 for the year previous to that.

    Of the deportation orders issued 65 have been personally enforced by the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB).

    More than 300 people left the State voluntarily, and after this there seems to be a gap in calculating how many failed asylum seekers have actually departed.

    There are currently 31,536 people in the IPAS system

  2. What the shit, that should never be a question that needs asking, now how do they get the fig into a figroll is key questions that must be answered

    “Leave”

    “No.”

    “You have no right to be here”

    “I appeal”

    “You already used all your appeals, please go”

    “No.”

    “We’ll even pay for your plane tickets, luggage, transportation, and handling”

    “No.”

    “Pleeeease”

    All deportation orders should be enforced by GNIB. Self deportation is rubbish and doesn’t work

    The problems of the XXI century. Arrest them. March them to the airport. Buckle up the seat. Waive a goodbye.

    Key question is right 

    For all the tough talk from Simon, if the orders aren’t actually being enforced they’re irrelevant really and are just more talk

    In 2019, they only managed to execute 20% of deportation orders.

    Remaining in the state after being issued with a deportation order is a criminal and arrestable offence, so it would be interesting to see to what extent that is actually being enforced.

    One of the big reasons why lack of enforcement of rules around illegal migration for the last couple of years has been such an unmitigated disaster is because they actually don’t have the capacity to deport all of the numbers not eligible to stay. Deportations are meant to serve as a deterrent, and it’s yet another deterrent which the government haven’t been using adequately

    Anyone served with a deportation order should be detained and escorted to the airport. NGO’s/Immigration lawyers encourage them to just stay here. They know eventually they will be allowed to stay. They should copy what France is doing, where appeals can be made after you’ve been deported.

  9. I wonder if some of these people who are told to leave the country but refuse, are still able to collect social welfare?
