Press Release
Stop the deportation
Demonstration Weds 27th April 2 p.m.

Residents against Racism are holding a demonstration at 2 p.m. outside GNIB, Burgh Quay in protest against a planned mass deportation.
The last mass deportation was met by protests from communities across Ireland, and received condemnation from many quarters of civic society. Kunle, a leaving cert student, was deported and subsequently returned after Palmerstown students took to the streets. Groups across Ireland and Residents against Racism are campaigning for those deported on the last chartered flight be brought back, as is the wish of the communities they lived in. Despite this Minister for Justice, Michael McDowell is going ahead with another mass deportation.
Rosanna Flynn spokesperson for RAR said:
“Michael McDowell, ignoring the widespread condemnation of his policies, is preparing for another mass deportation. Communities across Ireland have come out in large numbers to protest against his brutal practices. Many of the people deported had not exhausted all the legal avenues that were available to them. There were children separated from their mothers after the last deportation. These children still remain parentless in Ireland. Many of those deported remain hiding in Nigeria fearing for their lives.
The very fact that, despite this and growing public concerns, McDowell is attempting another mass deportation reinforces our demand that the asylum process be removed from his hands and into a body such as the Human Rights Commission. Recent statistics have shown that the asylum numbers are dropping, this is happening across Europe. Despite it being a European wide phenomenon McDowell is attempting to take the credit. McDowell would claim credit for the invention of the wheel if he thought he could get away with. It is no wonder he has become known as the Minister for Injustice and Lies.”

According to the UN Refugee Commissioner the number of vulnerable people/displaced people is down from 20 million to 17 million (for the first time in 20 years).
Also the change in status of much of Eastern Europe has made it unecessary for people to need to apply for asylum, they can now simply move and are legally entitled to work (which puts them in a much better position than asylum seekers and entitles basic levels of equality). Apparently this reduced the original asylum count by 1000 (not including cases already decided upon). So its likely that an overall reduction in refugees would have led to the same reduction. So the current stats may even show a small increase - possibly. I couldn't find the exact figures for accession EU asylum seekers so not exactly sure.
