Good, people should be deported when they have served deportation orders, this is normal and lawful.
I get the feeling the headline is trying to rage bait, but while some may agree and others may disagree with the process, having seen some figures bandied about from other countries, a few Euro under €3.6k per passenger sounds like a relative pittance.
3 grand a head for the flight.
I need to figure out how I can start supplying stuff to the Irish government who are so readily inclined for getting fucked on price.
Edit: When the flight is 100 quid a head on a commercial airline. My point is that there should be some way it doesn’t need to cost us 30 times more to do it.
We live in a union, it shouldn’t be an insurmountable challenge to hand passengers between different policing jurisdictions.
This is in an environment where everything seems to cost the government more. Bike shelters to moving plug sockets in the children’s hospital.
It’s about time proper action was taken on this, but we need to see a lot more. So that we don’t end up hearing more stories about failed asylum seekers remaining in the country even after their application was rejected and nobody checking to make sure they went.
The value of the flights is demonstrating to people who are considering coming here that Ireland is no longer a soft touch destination, with long processing times and no effective deportation mechanism.
The price per seat is reasonably immaterial in that sense.
Good!
And I say this as an immigrant!
Cheaper than sticking them in an IPAS centre tho right?
(seriously… the headlines really should reflect that)
“State saves €Xmillion by deporting Y people to Z country”
Value for money. 3.5k per person. They would cost the state a hell of a lot more if they were allowed to stay.
Deport. Deport. Deport. Faster.
Are these 52 people from Georgia? Or what is going on here?
This is a huge win, a (relatively) short one off payment to get them the fuck out of here benefits the state in the long run.
This approach needs to be paired with stopping people before they get here.
Typical rage bait shit from the Journal, I am not giving them a click either to read the story
What a absolute rag of a publication
€3,596 per deportation once off as opposed to an ongoing spend of at least €84 per day (€30,000 a year) is fantastic value for the taxpayer.
Great news. More of this please.
Considering the government has been offering people 10k to drop their claims this likely saves money over the long term.
I wonder if it would actually make sense for the state to just buy a plane that solely runs deportations.
What’s the cost of keeping them here? You’ll unfortunately find that €187k is a price worth paying
At what point do we start buying jets for this purpose? Could probably get one for about 15 bike sheds.
What’s the problem?
How else do they think they deport them? Do they think its free?
Wonder what would be the cost of buying a plane for this sort of stuff ..
Worth every €
I hate to see this but I understand immigration has rules etc. But the glee and delight from posters in this thread is disgusting. At best, this is a necessary evil.
The 7 children on this flight have had what can only be described as a shit life so far and it just got worse. They didn’t choose where to be born. I hope you never have to feel as helpless as those kids will feel today. It absolutely isn’t anything to be celebrated and should trigger thoughts of “how can we prevent this” not the celebrations in this thread.
The reasons for millions of asylum seekers also go on undebated and un-addressed by the “get them out” crowd.
Why does it cost so much for deportation flights? Is some of the figure legal fees?
Great to see, would be nice if they could put them on cheaper commercial flights but can imagine the issues, even with this high cost Ireland will save money and can spend it on people who actually need the support
Why not fly them on Ryanair?
So with approx 20k coming in a year to claim asylum, you’d need to have one of these flights going out every day of the year to keep up the flow or grant application and push them out of the system to fend for themselves.
I dont understand. How can a flight cost 185k
Is it how much the 52 people have cost the state since arriving?
People upset they are allowed in, upset it costs money to send them Home, clickbait
