Gardaí supervise Roma’s departure from camp

UP TO 70 members of the Roma community who had been living in squalor in Dublin on an M50 roundabout, are due to be repatriated to Romania today.

Gardaí yesterday supervised the departure of the Roma gypsies from their makeshift encampments on the roundabout and beside the slip road at the motorway’s Ballymun exit.

Officers from the Garda National Immigration Bureau said the departures were voluntary and had nothing to do with the deportation orders served on 86 gypsies at the weekend.
