Pork sausages were served to men being deported to Pakistan as part of a full Irish breakfast despite the country’s Muslim-majority population, a human rights monitoring report has revealed.
The catering blunder took place on Ireland’s first chartered deportation flight to Pakistan, which removed 24 men from Dublin to Islamabad on September 23 last year.
A monitor appointed by Ireland’s Department of Justice said gardaí complained that the food served on board was ‘of a lower standard than expected’ and that including pork sausages in a ‘full Irish breakfast’ was ‘inappropriate’.
