IRELAND DEPORTATION CLASH: LEFT BRANDS REMOVALS 'RACIST' AS ENFORCEMENT RISES

Gript columnist Kevin Myers argues Ireland’s left is denouncing deportations as 'racist' while the state increases enforcement, including recent charter removals. He contrasts France’s Bataclan memorials and fears of Islamist terrorism with Irish political focus on blocking a single deportation, citing remarks by Ruth Coppinger and Richard Boyd Barrett. The piece frames a politicized backlash to removals amid a broader uptick in enforced deportations. Opinion-heavy, with limited new facts but aligned to ongoing Ireland enforcement debates.
