Thirty Asylum Seekers Evicted by Bailiffs supported by Gardai from Claremont Court, Glasnevin, Dublin at 5.45pm GMT

Thirty asylum seekers awaiting information confirming that they can stay in Ireland has been refused at the High Courts in Dublin.

Bailiffs and Gaurdi moved in quickly afterwards to evict families from their homes on Claremont Court, with parents being carried out and children screaming while other residents looked on in shock.

This has been the first in a series of court cases to remove those who have falsely claimed asylum in the Irish Republic after residents claimed that some of those who had claimed asylum in the Republic were seen dealing in class A substances which in the Irish Republic have made very clear that anyone who has sought asylum in the Republic of Ireland who abuses its hospitality will be removed.

several of those evicted are spending the night at the Bridewell Gardai Station in Dublin and several others are presently at Mountjoy Jail awaiting a flight back to their country of origin, this has come about after a Gardai operation which has lasted for over 18 months into drug trafficking in the Free State.

Those arrested who insist they are not a part to the drug trafficking gang intend to appeal the decision of the High Court Judge (Justice O'Connell) there will be more news on this tonight on RTE 1 at 10.30pm GMT
