Check that big lad playing under 14’s.
the real scandal will be that these people were likely housed alongside actual children and the obvious safeguarding concerns that come with that
“The average time these adults were incorrectly presumed to be children, and were possibly living in children’s accommodation, was 57 days, Tusla said in a report” This madness has to stop. We need to start forcing airlines to photocopy passports and/or return them.
It’s crazy that despite credible reports and how obvious it was that the asylum system is being abused in every way possible, the concept that this was happening was a far-right dog whistle for so many here on Irish reddit. We need to learn how to get along, stop calling everyone far-right/racist or woke dilettantes and unite against the crazy asylum system here, we are considered a soft-touch by economic migrants. It is known
Wait until they find out all of the gay men with wives aren’t actually gay, they will be shocked. System is rife with fraud, it has been ignored deliberately for years. A lot of snouts in this trough…
But they said this wasn’t happening
Even more worrying is that we put them into our secondary schools as kids , when they are really 23 years old .
