More deportation flights - what should be done?

39 people, including 30 men, 4 women and 5 children were deported from Ireland last night on a chartered flight that landed in the Georgian capital Tbilisi this morning. This is the second chartered flight deporting people back to Georgia this year. Michael McNamara, Independent MEP for Ireland’s South constituency, is critical of this decision by Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan and has asked the Minister to think of the economic realities, and give Georgian asylum seekers work permits and visas. He joins Kieran to discuss.
