  1. What a joke of a country we are, two illegal immigrants who destroy their passports on a flight claim they are really the victims and are given access to the country and already put into accommodation. Should have been deported the second they were caught, but not handed accommodation instead.

    “I hope they had lunch” is this a joke? They destroyed their passports on the flight from Spain and the judge was more concerned about whether or not they’d eaten, and suspended their sentence? No investigation, no punishment for destroying their documents? Fucking insanity.

  3. Is it the cops being shite at passport control, it it dept of foreign affairs? Is it judges or airlines? Who the fuck is so bad at their job that they can’t wrap their head around no passport, no entry. It’s a fucking simple concept.

  4. We are a joke even Germany are changing their policies.

    “The number of asylum applications in Germany already fell 21.7% in the first eight months of the year, according to government statistics.”

    Irelands numbers for asylum applications for same period are up 83%. Applications from Nigeria are up 232%

    But we are told Ireland is just mirroring what is happening everywhere and there is nothing we can do but throw our hands in the air.

    Did I miss the part where we forced these two lads on an aircraft in Spain or something ?

    ‘Godfrey said since arriving into Ireland, “they have effectively been captives of the Irish people. They were placed in custody in the airport, in custody at Shannon Garda Station and then in custody at Limerick prison.”’

  6. >TWO “TERRIFIED” CHINESE nationals have been effectively captives of the Irish people since they were found hiding in toilets at Shannon Airport in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

    “Effectively captives of the Irish people”.

    Jesus Christ!

  7. Wish we could combine the mass immigrant situation with the ‘I have no friends since I turned 30’ situation. Seems like we have a potential win win going on. Friend importing!

    Not even arsed enforcing our own laws, even flagrant violations thereof 

    So sick of seeing this shit 

    The country and the taxpayers are being taken for chumps and then you’ve the other random eejits who think us getting exploited is brilliant and that we’ve apparently limitless resources to look after the potentially limitless number of people that can fuck their passport in the bin and pop on in 

    Jokeshop of a country. Social contract is broken. You get nothing for doing things “right”, no you’re there to look after all the other pisstakers in the entire world apparently 

  9. Ireland is a soft touch, say any sob story and you’re grand.

    They see stories of others doing it so they did too.

    I am cringeing reading that article. If you tried that in Australia, immediate deportation. Try that in America, immediate deportation. Try that in the uk, immediate deportation. Ireland… “oh you poor unfortunate man, you mean to say to your passport fell in the toilet on the plane? God that’s awful. Here.. i know it was an accident. Have a happy meal” fuck me, everyone in that article is an embarrassment. If they worked in customs Australia, and believed the bullshit people tell them there, every Tom dick and harry would be letting them in to run amok in the place

  11. My fucking god how hard is it to return to fucking sender if they lost their passport. Like how can airlines not have a photoing system in place of where individuals board showing their passport and it is recorded and verified point of entry showing and recorded that they had a passport to begin with. So any issues like this fake asylum shit get resolved. We can’t keeping taking on all these fucking chancers. I know not all are but fuck me you have to be blind to not realise how the system is being taking advantage of.

    If someone could tell me is it possible in any way shape or form that we can officially do something or opt out of some treaty to stop this constant problem???

  12. These ppl are here now for good, china won’t take them back so we can’t deport, they’re just counting down the clock till leave to remain
