Inside Ireland’s deportation system

There have been six chartered deportation flights out of Ireland
so far this year. It comes as, against the backdrop of heated
statements and debates, the Irish Government has been hardening
its rhetoric on immigration.


Earlier this month, the Irish Examiner was given a rare look
behind the curtain of what happens as people are forcibly removed
from the country as 52 Georgian nationals – including three
families – were sent on a chartered plane to that country’s
capital Tbilisi.


Irish Examiner security correspondent Cormac O’Keeffe was the
journalist who witnessed it all and he’s the guest on today’s
episode of The Deirdre O’Shaughnessy Podcast.
