and Blonde Ministers.
This week the minster of Justice, Michael mc Dowell addressed the Garda Siochana (his police force) on several issues.
Improvements to their housing.
What he terms "SF/IRA" criminality with very special references made to two events outside the jurisdiction of his department in Northern Ireland of the UK.
And reminded everyone that he supports the GFA (to wash hands of ethnicity issues and crucify the Christ).
Meanwhile the local "experts" on the Good Friday thing had earlier the same Dail holiday weekend
spoken out against his policies.
He made no reference to either speed lasers or
the deportation of a young black chap in his school uniform to Nigeria last week.
![Click on image to see full-sized version if the cap fits wear it...](../attachments/mar2005/if_the_cap_fits_wear_it.jpg) if the cap fits wear it... This issue concerns many and here is selected reactions to the case -
+ 1. The Roman Catholic Church.
Bishop Raymond Field, has hit out against the government’s new revised arrangements for migrant parents of Irish children applying for permission to remain in the State, saying that they are causing heartache and desperation.
Under the new residency laws parents are required to formally renounce any entitlement to be reunited with a spouse or with their children currently living outside the State.
“In a country whose Constitution recognises the family as the natural primary and fundamental unit of Society, with inalienable and imprescriptible rights, we firmly believe that the heartache, desperation and anguish, which families suffer as a result of these procedures cannot be justified,” said Bishop Field, Auxilliary Bishop of Dublin and Chairman of the newly constituted Irish Commission for Justice and Social Affairs (ICJSA).
He pointed out that the right to live in a united family was constantly reaffirmed in the social teaching of the Church, and resonated with Irish mothers and fathers “who know too well the grief and loneliness of enforced separation.”
At the time of the year when Irish people all over the world were celebrating their identity, there was a responsibility at home to similarly “welcome the stranger – and their families - to our shores,” he said.
The ICJSA, which is a committee of the Bishops’ Conference, has called on Justice Minister Michael McDowell to amend the new residency regulations to ensure that basic justice is ensured for migrant families with Irish born children who are being forced, unjustly, to sign away their right to live as a family unit.
“Many migrant families living here in Ireland, along with their Irish born children, wait in fear and trepidation on the eve of the deadline: 31 March 2005, as they lodge their residency applications. Their hope is overshadowed by the knowledge that, even with a positive response, they will now be prohibited from being reunited with their family members abroad,” said Bishop Field.
The ICJSA, formerly known as the Commission for Justice and Peace, was established by the Irish Bishops’ Conference in 1970, one of the many initiatives taken by the Bishops to implement the teachings of the Second Vatican Council.
The bishop’s warning came as students from a secondary school protested for three hours outside the Dail against the forced deportation of their school mate 18 year old Olunkunkle Eluhanla's last Tuesday. Mr Eluhanla was still wearing his school uniform and his classmates from Pobalscoil Iosolde in Palmerstown told the Irish Independent that Mr Eluhanla, who had fled Nigeria after his father was murdered, was not even allowed to collect his possessions from his flat.

€ 2. the Green Party
he Green Party has called on the Government to inquire into the circumstances surrounding the deportation of Olunkunle Eluhanla. Mr. Eluhanla (19) was a student at Palmerston Community School up until his arrest and deportation on a government charter flight to Nigeria last Tuesday 15 March
Green Party Justice spokesperson Ciarán Cuffe TD said today that, “Mr. Eluhanla was deported in his school uniform without identity papers. I am told that he was briefly detained in Alagbon Prison in Nigeria and that he was subsequently attacked and molested. I am calling on the Minister for Justice to show some compassion and allow Mr. Eluhanla to sit his Leaving Certificate in Ireland. ”
“I have tabled questions to the Minister McDowell in regard to this issue, and I am hoping that he will reconsider the deportation Order and allow this young man return to complete his studies in Ireland.
“It is wrong to deport someone who is weeks away from sitting his Leaving Certificate. I believe that there should be an inquiry into the events surrounding his arrest, deportation and subsequent treatment in Nigeria. Mr. Eluhanla should be allowed complete his studies.
“As Ireland continues its St. Patrick’s Festival celebrations it is worthwhile remembering that Patrick himself was an immigrant who suffered poverty and imprisonment in his quest for justice.”
Questions Tabled to the Minister for Justice follow
“To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to make an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the deportation of Olunkunle Eluhanla, a student at Palmerston Community School in his school uniform without identity papers to Nigeria, and to make a statement on the matter?”
“To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to explain his reasons for the deportation of Olunkunle Eluhanla, a student at Palmerston Community School in his school uniforms without identity papers to Nigeria, to ask whether he is aware that Mr. Eluhanla was subsequently attacked and molested and to make a statement on the matter?”

The minister for Justice Michael mc Dowell, has become an unwelcome focus of interests which are counter to the good governance and security of Europe, however well his intentions might appear to those of his constituency, (the beurocrats and foot soldiers of the Garda Siochana), (the voters of the Progressive Democrats) the long term effects of his deportations on ethnic diversity and an end to racism in the north of Europe as much as in Ireland either side of his jurisdiction, can not be much longer ignored or underestimated.
Make it simple-
My Dear Minister,
How many Black Gardaí are there?
I remember during the 1980s before your time, there was amongst many other cultural initiatives, an attempt to bring Irish society forward to multi-culturalism by favouring the appointment of Gardaí who belonged to religious minorities in the Irish State. Thus we saw members of the Cof I, presbytarian and jewish Gardaí be seen to serve the state, and serve it well.
yours etc.,
