Garda Immigration Bureau Removes 52 Individuals to Georgia in Monday Operation

The Garda National Immigration Bureau carried out a removal operation yesterday that saw 52 people, including seven children as part of family groups, depart Ireland on a chartered flight to Georgia from Dublin Airport.

The operation, which took place on Monday, 3rd November 2025, involved the removal of 35 males, 10 females and seven children, all travelling as part of family units.

The chartered flight departed Dublin Airport yesterday evening, according to a statement released today by An Garda Síochána.

The Garda National Immigration Bureau, known as GNIB, is the specialist unit within An Garda Síochána responsible for immigration enforcement and border management across Ireland.

The operation represents one of several removal actions carried out by the bureau as part of Ireland's immigration policy implementation.

An Garda Síochána confirmed in their statement that they continue to work closely with the Department of Justice in implementing immigration policy across the State.

No further details about the specific circumstances of the individuals removed or the duration of the operation were provided in the official statement.

The chartered flight method is typically used for group removals, allowing authorities to return multiple individuals to their countries of origin simultaneously.
