EU States In Joint Dublin Deportations
A group of six illegal immigrants from Ghana was deported from Dublin yesterday, in what is believed to be the first joint-deportation from the Irish capital.
The Ghanaian nationals were deported to Accra by the Irish, Italian and French authorities in secret by Garda.
Irish authorities deported just one of the group - the man on completion of a jail sentence for drug dealing was deported straight from prison in a move that is common for serious national offenders.
The multinational operation was aided by the EU border security agency, Frontex, which co-ordinates co-operation between member states in the management of external borders.
The French police force flew four Ghanaians to Dublin for deportation and the Italian police sent a team of their officers with one Ghanaian.
The deportees were then put on a charter flight from Dublin escorted by a team of police officers from each of the three states.
A Garda security team was also on board to supervise the procedure bringing the number of police officers to 25.
The Ghanaian man who was deported by the Irish authorities was due to be deported last month.
While the cost of the flight is not know, it is believed to have cost at least €100,000.
