The Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan has confirmed that chartered deportation flights have recommenced in order to enforce Ireland’s immigration laws.
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.
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.
