A Congolese asylum seeker has been deported by the Garda National Immigration Bureau days after he walked free from another jail term.

Chico Makamda was jailed in 2019 for a horrific sexual attack on a woman but had clocked up 15 other previous convictions in the 10 years he’d been in Ireland.

Although he agreed to leave the country he never did.

Nicola speaks to Eamon Dillon about the high-profile deportation from the country in recent weeks.
