Irish government plans €5m, 3-year contract for charter flights to deport failed asylum seekers.

The Irish government plans to spend an estimated €5m on a 3-year contract for a firm to operate charter flights for deporting failed asylum seekers. The tender, managed by the Office of Government Procurement, includes ground support, catering, and medical assistance for passengers. Since 2019, there have been no return operations due to pandemic-related restrictions, and the state now wishes to resume such operations.
