Irish Times: 500 Eastern Europeans 'Repatriated' (aka Deported)

category national | racism & migration related issues | other press author Monday October 06, 2008 13:02author by redjade Report this post to the editors

George Orwell: 'Political language ... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.'


EU States deporting EU citizens because of ethnicity and race.

Why is the good Taoiseach Brian Cowen not like that Fascist Silvio Berlusconi?

Children of Men?

The government repatriated more than 500 eastern European migrants to their home countries so far this year under a scheme aimed at assisting destitute immigrants.

In the eight months leading up to August a total of 511 migrants were repatriated. The number for the full year is set to well exceed last year's total of 538 repatriations.

The figures come at a time when unemployment among foreign nationals is rising sharply, with an increase of almost 80 per cent in the number of non-Irish signing onto the live register over the past year.

The scheme is open to any citizen of a former EU accession state and certain other "special-case" EU nationals who find themselves destitute during their time in Ireland.

The vast majority who have been sent home this year have been citizens from Romania (298) and Poland (118), with much smaller numbers from countries such as Hungary (24), Czech Republic (18) and Slovakia (18).

The high number of repatriated Romanians is likely to be as a result of many coming here without work permits.

Irish Times DIctionary:
• 'Repatriated' means Deported
• 'Eastern Europeans' most likely means Roma/Gypsies (as the article later states)
• 'special-case' is interestingly left undefined

Note: the Irish Times article goes on to say that Hungarians have 'temporary labour restrictions' - this is false. the IT meant to say Bulgarians.
