Briefly

This year has seen a notable uptick in state-enforced deportations, with 170 deportations recorded thus far, exceeding the previous total of 160 for all of 2024. The financial burden for these deportations, which includes costs from three charter flights and commercial flights for failed International Protection applicants, has reached €1.1 million in 2025. These statistics, shared by Minister Jim O'Callaghan, highlight the government's ongoing focus on immigration enforcement and the significant costs associated with these efforts.
The Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration revealed that deportations have increased, with 170 enforced this year alone, surpassing last year's total. The financial implications are significant, with costs amounting to €1.1m for these operations, including charter flights and commercial flights for failed International Protection applicants.
The state has actively sought to manage immigration by enforcing deportations. The current year's statistics indicate a rise in deportations, and financial expenditures connected to these actions are already considerable.
