A deportation to Nigeria is expected to take place on Thursday. Up to 40 people whose asylum application for refugee status has failed have been requested to present themselves at their local garda station on Thursday. "Some of these people have been here for over 10 years and are well integrated," said Rosanna Flynn of Residents Against Racism.
It will be interesting to learn how many actually present themselves to be deported. It seems to be a fairly regular practice for deportees to "disappear" before the order is actually carried out. No doubt Residents against Racism will speak out against breach of our laws too.
