So would calling for the deportation of 7200 people "whose asylum applications have been refused" be a far right
Position?

All I say is there was a famous case last year where an asylum seeker in Belfast had his claim for asylum refused at first instance.  The reason for his refusal was he had claimed he would be persecuted in his home country because he was involved in guerrilla warfare.  The Home Office rejected that this would entitle him to asylum because 'gorillas are an endangered species' and fighting them shouldn't allow him to claim asylum.

So id at least like appeals to be dealt with first

is this true?

Yes genuine cases involving a couple of my friends about 15 months ago

Nobody's asking us to

OK, so how many are we expected to take?

I thought you were taking none and instead shipping to 🇷🇼 ?

What a red herring. Where does it end? Come on, tell us.

Where does it start? Are you saying we should be taking none? I'm assuming you're not that big a boll!x and that you are happy to take some. So what's the limit? How many is too many for you?

There are a cluster of family hotels in Olhos D'Agua just outside Albufeira - 3HB Guarana etc. with steps nearby down to the beach. We stayed in the area last year and going back this year but not to a kid friendly hotel thankfully! Less than €10 by Uber into Albufeira.

A couple of sad parishes lamenting the loss of valued club members, with requiem mass and burials tomorrow. Rest in Peace Mickey Kelly (Casements) and Ryan Straney (Lamh Dhearg).

Any recommendations for family friendly hotels or accommodation in Albuferia, Portugal?

Grande Real De santa Eulalia is a fine place, right on the beach and free shuttlebus into town hourly.
