I understand that the Deputy has clarified that their question concerns removals effected under Section 20(b) of the European Communities Freedom of Movement of Persons Regulations 2015 which involves the removal of EU Citizens to other EU Member States. I can advise that there have been 21 such removals effected during 2023. The associated flight costs are €29,989.92. This includes the flight costs of escorts from the Garda National Immigration Bureau. Subsistence or accommodation costs for members of the GNIB are met under standard travel and subsistence rates under the Garda vote. Persons who are removed under these Regulations are usually removed from prison. Any administration costs are met by the repatriation unit of Immigration Service Delivery, who consider the cases for removal, and organise flights and travel documents where appropriate.
