  1. Should be automatically disqualified. If you can’t be upfront about who you are, how can Ireland possibly assess the claim for asylum.

  2. All of the supposed fake far right talking points that the mainstream media outlets ignored are suddenly coming out as true.

    Economic migrants coming from predominantly safe countries are coming without documents and avoiding deportation.

    15% have passports. Fewer than 10% of deportation orders are carried out. The top countries of origin are Georgia, Nigeria and Algeria.

  3. Absolute joke of a country.
    It’s insane how this has been going on for years and there’s been fuck all attempts to stop it aside from a few Gardai in a few foreign airports.

  4. I’ve been told that this is a far right conspiracy by government and that very few people are doing this , is newstalk now a far right now ? 

  5. Once they’re here, it’s hard to do anything about them. They claim asylum and need to be processed. It can be impossible to deport people even if their claim isn’t successful unless their home country cooperates in issuing new documents and takes them back.

    They need to do more to deter people coming to Ireland to do this in the first place. People who are honest and cooperative should be rewarded & placed at an advantage.

    It’s a criminal offence but they’ve only started convicting some people in last couple of weeks.

    I think sentences for ‘losing’ documentation need to be longer so it’s a genuine deterrent, they need to be convicted consistently and possibly look at other any other penalties like restricting access to work visas.

    The message needs to be put out there into the world loud and clear that it’s not tolerated in Ireland so don’t bother trying.. but the government just don’t have the backbone.

  6. Automatic ‘No’ for asylum unless unusual circumstances. Automatic detention until they confirm their home country. Deportation and 5 year re-entry ban.

    I have absolutely no problem giving asylum to those that genuinely need it. It’s the morally right thing to do.

    But we cannot allow unidentified people to entry the country and be allowed to walk around freely. They could be convicted murderers, sex offenders, terrorists, drug dealers or Trump supporters.

  7. 6 months ago round here this fact was considered a far right talking point and dog whistle.

  8. At what point does this cross into being intentional by the government? Why are they doing nothing?

  9. Remember, everyone who thinks people are taking advantage of the asylum system for economic benefit are far right dole heads

  10. I can’t even book a flight without Ryan Air looking for 2 types of ID. A live pic/video and passport/drivers license.

  11. I hope Varadkar and government officials are questioned on this as I’m sure a lot of people will be interested to hear their response! This time they can’t just pass it off as a far right myth as its directly from the CSO

  12. A solution to this is to take non Irish or EU passports from people boarding flights and then make them reclaim their passport on arrival with their name attached to it.

    So this isn’t a case of there not being solutions, it’s a case of the government not wanting to implement solutions for this. Which begs the important question – why is that?

  13. As yes… The “far right” conspiracy you were all bashing at not too long ago.

  14. McEntee should be hauled in front of an Oireachtas committee for this, totally asleep at the wheel or willingly not enforcing our laws 

    Disgrace either way, she is utterly useless 

  15. I’m completely lost as to how they arrive here without documentation unless they destroy it?
    Put huge fines on the airports and companies who let these people travel without documentation and all of a sudden you’ll be asked for id before boarding actual plane and then again coming into airport.
    And return people back to airport they came from? It’s not that hard, utterly ridiculous loop hole these opportunists have found.

  16. I remember only a couple of months ago it was claimed 60%, then 70%, now as of last year it’s up to 85%.

    Now – just hear me out before tarring and feathering me as a ‘far right nutjob’, but it’s **almost** as if this is a co-ordinated effort to exploit our known legal loopholes and lack of enforcement by bogus asylum claimants …

  17. How are they allowed into the country when I have to show my passport many times before i get on the plane and off the plane?

  18. Send them back.

    Running from x country?

    Prove it with a passport.

    No passport? GTFO!

  19. Call them what they are Illegals! Don’t let them change the language. That’s how they do it they control the language. And now to make sure they do we have hate speech laws. Who decides what is hate speech?

  20. If they wanted to the state could stop this overnight.

  21. We are a joke here and seen that way – it’s quite depressing yet, don’t pay your tv licence and it’s letter after letter and knocks on door 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️- yet, it’s ok to tear up your passport and claim you lost in on the flight and want asylum being just left a country for your connecting flight that was safe to board the flight here 🤦🏻‍♂️

  22. Just a reminder, the government facilitating this madness managed to be capable of bringing in measures whereby you couldn’t step foot in a coffee shop in this country without providing proof of vaccination against Covid, but apparently can’t address this issue.

  23. Literally open borders…on an island too. I’ll toss away my own passport too if I’m ever in trouble. No one can prove I’m from here. Checkmate hippies.

  24. Has to be immediate imprisonment followed by deportation for this. All passengers boarding a flight to Ireland should be made aware.

    We’re being taken for suckers. Most are travelling from perfectly safe countries.

    It’s staggering that we’ve put up with this for so long.

    Why aren’t the immigration authorities doing more about it?

    Who told them to take such a lenient attitude.

    Why is there no accountability for this?

    Why is there never any accountability for anything in this country, when it comes to state bodies?

    Happy for law abiding immigrants to come here and make a life for themselves. Enough is enough though. We have to drop the softly softly approach.

  25. they are taking the piss at this stage but its our governments fault
