Twenty-four Romanian men are deported from Ireland on a chartered flight departing Dublin Airport and arriving in Bucharest, according to multiple outlets. The flight leaves on Sunday afternoon and the group is taken from Irish custody.
RTÉ reports the men are aged between 24 and 57 and are removed under Immigration Orders issued by Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan. Gardaí are cited as confirming the deportation. The Irish Mirror adds that some individuals are serving prison sentences at the time of removal and are taken directly from Irish Prison Service custody, indicating the operation involves people held in different parts of the criminal justice and immigration systems.
Other outlets focus on the minister’s confirmation of the removals and on the logistics of the charter flight and its destination. Across reporting, the central points are the number of people deported, their Romanian nationality, the use of a charter flight from Dublin, and the stated legal basis for the removals under Immigration Orders.
