** [url=http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/2003/08/07/story118305402.asp]Probe urged into racist abuse accusations[/url]
By Michael Oââ¬â¢Farrell Political Reporter ALLEGATIONS that members of the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) subjected asylum seekers to racist abuse and illegally refused to accept their claim for asylum at Dublin Airport must be investigated immediately, human rights groups demanded.The allegations are made in a statement in today's Irish Examiner by a man who arrived in Ireland in December, 2001, to claim asylum with his wife. Both have subsequently been granted refugee status and are living happily here. However, according to the statement, the couple were subjected to a torrent of racial abuse by GNIB officers when they presented themselves at passport control.
According to the statement, an immigration official said: "God, more jungle bunnies," when the couple arrived, and replied "Don't give me that crap," when they asked for asylum.
The couple said a tirade of abuse ensued during which the couple were repeatedly cursed at in racist terms, locked in a van and driven to a plane where they were told they were going to be deported. They said an official told them the sun was shining and that it was a good day to go back to the jungle and die .... **
Assuming the 'refugees' aren't just making the whole thing up those officers are a credit to the force and our people. :rock:

Good to see. What's up with Ireland, as a Britisher I thought the Irish just had to look across the little pond to see what happens with turd world immigration. Apart from Eastern European I saw Ireland as a bastion of whiteness. At least in NI their both armed and dangerous to do something about the new colonialism certainly the loyalists when those Marxists in the IRA seem to be doing their best to stop their foot soldiers doing what comes naturally.

Yeah, I doubt the average Provo in the street cares much for the mud flood but the Shinner big-wigs wouldn't want to lose their carefully crafted image as 'plucky freedom fighters for the little guy'.
I wonder has the Government being housing the ââ¬Ëasylum seekersââ¬â¢ in mainly loyalist or mainly republican areas.

Actually, for once the government has taken a very prudent step in severely limiting the number of asylum seekers dispersed to the so-called NI cluster area. There are 125 in total in the Province, per the latest HO quarterly report.
There's no indication whether they are accommodated in the green or the orange zone, however.
