Irish police detected 50 people attempting to enter Ireland from the UK illegally last week.

The GardaĆ­ said they were refused leave to land and were returned to the UK across four days.

The force said 107 people had been detected, without the correct visas or identity papers, across 21 days of action since the start of October last year.

Four additional days of action took place in the week commencing May 20, when a further 50 people were detected without the correct paperwork.

It comes after Ireland claimed up to 90 per cent of asylum seekers arriving in Dublin have crossed the open border with Northern Ireland because they fear the Rwanda plan.

Sue dreamed that Robert Redford had asked her out for tea
That dream was sadly ended when she woke up for a pee
He didn't return but Clooney came by
Brought her a coffee and put a hand on her thigh
Thirty seconds later Sue was sat on his knee

The ones I hate are when it isn't possible to avoid guessing the wrong option. Today I was lucky. That grout could have been TROUT too obviously.

Quote from: muddy on May 21, 2024, 11:11:51 PMNot surprisingly the President of Ireland has sent a message of condolence to the Iranian regime on the death of the their murdering President speaking on behalf of the people of Ireland .

He follows in the proud tradition of De Lavera and William Joyce .

I have known good friends who are (southern) Irish, but the impression I get of the Irish, or at least their leaders, is that they are as anti-British as ever.
Is it because they want N.I. as part of their territory?
Do they see us as fools because we are happy to let anyone in their country (especially the Pikey brigade) come here and get away with criminal activity that our police are too afraid to deal with?

It also annoys me that they are not members of NATO and don't bother to maintain their own armed forces, simply because they can hide behind us.

It could have been a disaster. I took a flyer on BUDDY with only the U Y and unused letters to go on. Looking at it again I think GROUT was the biggest gamble but even if it was wrong it gave me 3 common unused letters. Could have been DROUT but they've used GROUT before.
