Charter Deportations Flights From Ireland Have Recommenced.

It has been confirmed that chartered deportation flights have recommenced in order to enforce Ireland’s immigration laws. Yesterday, Thursday, 27th February, a chartered flight to Georgia, removed persons who were subject to Deportation Orders, from the Irish State.

This is the first operation conducted under a contract signed by the State, last November, for the provision of charter aircraft for these purposes. Further operations will be conducted as the year progresses.

Charter flights provide an alternative to commercial flights and can be more appropriate in circumstances when a group of individuals are being removed to the same destination.

A contract was signed in November last year for the provision of charter aircraft for deportation operation purposes. Access to these services has significantly increased the capacity of An Garda Síochána, to effect removals.

Enforced removals are carried out as a measure of last resort when the person concerned has not removed themselves from the State or availed of assisted voluntary return measures.

In this instance, the people concerned were Georgian nationals and the flight left Dublin Airport on Thursday night before landing in Tbilisi, Georgia, on Friday morning.

The returnees were accompanied on the flight by Garda personnel, medical staff, an interpreter and a human rights observer.
