  1. > The criminal offences committed by those removed from the State today ranged from multiple road traffic offences, such as driving without insurance, to sexual assault, drug offences and involvement in organised crime.

    What’s going on over in America with ICE doesn’t sit well with me.

    Yet we’re doing the same here and not a peep from anyone. No protests. Just people captured by the Guards and forcefully deported.

    We’re so bad at public procurement!

  3. Interesting that there appears to be someone in there for multiple road traffic offences.

    Deporting an EU citizen is typically quite difficult and only realistically possible for very serious offences, because it’s quite a long process to get the ball rolling on.

    I imagine the offending in question would have to be exceptionally egregious to merit being served with a deportation order.
