>Deportation operation to Pakistan cost €474,000 and involved 24 failed asylum seekers
>There were more than three times as many gardaí as deportees on a half-full flight to Pakistan even though it included just one person with a serious criminal conviction, official records show.

>The notes show that 79 members of the Garda were on board, an average of 3.3 per deportee, as well as a doctor, a paramedic, a translator and a human rights monitor. The average bill for each deportee was around €20,000, as the department said in a statement that such operations were “costly and complex to enforce”.
I just heard about this and thought it was a strange. No reason given for having 79 Garda on the flight.
Do they expect them to be on best behaviour and send them via Ryanair?
Deportations cost money and require security.
Probably still significantly cheaper than accomodating them here for even a year
Journalists are always desperate to find a scandal.
If they hadn’t deported them the failed asylum seekers the journalists would be calling it a scandal.
If there weren’t enough Gards on the flight and something happened, they’d be calling it a scandal.
They have too many Gards on the flight, so they call it a scandal.
You’d forgive politicians and public figures for thinking they can’t win and just avoiding any contact with the media
The government has a scheme to pay deportees for voluntary deportations. Cheaper to pay them to leave than to force them out.
