the Gards messed with the wrong rich kid

[sovtek]

Seems the INIS have made a heck of a mess for Failte Ireland. I normally would not feel sorry for these guys...especially Colin Zwirko as he is the son of a prominent media person, Walt Zwirko, back in my home town.
I think its great though because it made the INIS look like the shit heads they are back home and it also highlited their hypocracy because they constantly lobby Congress to have Irish illegals back home treated differently than they treat people here.
Here's the article.

thanks sovtek, its yet another sad reflection of the GNIB
here are few of the many GNIB c.o.c.k ups I remember from the news

1) A NIGERIAN Catholic priest was arrested, because he referred
to the congregation member he was visiting as a brother.

2) Indian National who won a Bord Failte holiday
to promote Ireland as a holiday destination deported from Dublin airport
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/fea ... 57243.html?

Tourism Ireland raised concern to the Department of Arts and Tourism about immigration procedures after an Indian tourist complained of harassment and facial discrimination at Dublin airport. He had won the trip at an event sponsored by Tourism Ireland in Mumbai to promote Ireland as a holiday destination.

3) US citizen arrives for soccer trail, arrested because he didn't
have work contract.
While everyone in the world knows, you don't get a contract til after
a trial.
(I can't find the new story link for this one)

Thanks for the brilliant link Sovtek, i have always thought these immigration people are incompetent, rude and intolerant. This proves my point completely.

They want America to grant residency to their illegal , and then they turn and treat American people in such disgusting manner.

Shame on them. Good the story was published. I wonder what the department of justice will have to say about it.

Yeah me too if I go to holiday and go back here I feel afraid

I hate to say it... but MAN: Am I happy living in Switzerland now (=no longer in Ireland)

Also my usual plea: It would be good for Ireland if they'd join Schengen.

What's the long-fought-for independence from the UK worth, if the Dáil never manages to take independent decisions, but always copies the UK anyway? (Agreed exception: the Euro)

You should see the flak I'm getting on boards.ie now for posting the same message.

aiiaiiaii - even more happy I'm gone.

Just my personal experience: Compare entries into >>Ireland<< with entries into >>Schengen<<.
