Don't break out the champagne. He's not going home to Cameroon which he occasionally still visits on holiday, he's just moving to a wealthier European country: Switzerland.
After promoting Ireland as the land of milk & honey for migrants, he's now decided with the high taxes required to pay for it all, along with the inflation in housing costs due to increased demand and the rising crime rates, Ireland could no longer provide him the standard of living he expected.
But we were useful enough for an EU passport.

A young woman says her friend was assaulted by a foreign taxi driver who falsely accused her of vomiting in his cab on Friday night in the Crumlin area.
The teen says she was taking a taxi home with two her friends after celebrating her 18th birthday when one her friends called Ruby burped.
The taxi driver then accused her of vomiting despite having no evidence but the women got out of the cab and gave the driver €70 to stop him hassling them.
She says the taxi driver then punched Ruby in the face and cut her lip open, causing her to fall.
Another taxi driver across the road picked the friends up and was able to drop them home safely.

Eyewitness account of the attack on the protester camp in Santry last night at 1:30am by the forces of Drew Harris OBE.
Janet said there was no warning when gardaí jumped out of a Maria van as if there had been an armed robbery. They then demolished their marquee tent and slung their chairs and cones out of their way.
"They just bulldozed in."
She says the protesters felt betrayed by the gardaí who had told them the previous day that the council were not going to sign off on the building.
"We thought we had built up a rapport with them."

Another eyewitness account of the attack on the protester camp last night.
Tina says the gardaí came in like a terror squad, broke down the gazebo and "scared the living daylights out us". She says she hasn't slept all night and is especially concerned for the wellbeing of her autistic grandson who likes to go for walks in the area but will no longer be able to.
She believes a second unit in the industrial estate could be being set up to accommodate asylum seekers also.

Another eyewitness account:
Anne says the gardaí had been monitoring the protesters and waiting for a moment to catch them off guard and then "all hell broke loose, it was absolutely terrible."
After the shock last night, she says she feels a lot stronger now with people coming from all over the country to give them their support.
"It's not over and we're not giving up."
Addressing Leo Varadkar, she queried what his motivation was in "bringing in people to take over our land," and believed money was the primary factor.
The owner of Unit 29 has been identified as Goldstein Property ICAV, which is also the owner of the former ESB office in East Wall where asylum seekers were housed in one of the first accommodation centres to face significant protests last year.
Discussing the politicians they'd like to vote out she said they're all 'absolutely disgusted' with Sinn Féin.

The wife of a retired Detective Garda says her husband believes the morale and the standards of the gardaí has gone down dramatically since he left the force.
"They're not the guards they used to be."
Ita says her husband, who has heart issues but helped man the protest for several days, has been in bed since he saw the video of gardaí demolishing the protester camp last night.
"He's sick to the pit of his stomach."

That time ENAR's Shane O'Curry begged Matt Cooper not to make an issue over a report about the discrepancies in Ellie Kisyombe's asylum story while being heavily promoted in the media during her run for the SocDems in the 2019 local elections.
O'Curry, who described ENAR as the co-ordinating organisation leading 87 NGOs "concerned with manifestations of racism in Ireland" appealed to Cooper that the "far-right are all over the story like flies around the proverbial".
"One of the areas of racism that we're interested in is online racism and any framings in the media that have the potential to enable or exacerbate racism in Irish society," he told Cooper while taking issue with the photo accompanying the report showing an unsmiling Kisyombe.
"Our concern about this article is that it's a particularly unsympathetic framing of Ellie Kisyombe."
Kisyombe has been back to Malawi twice on holiday since being granted Leave To Remain after repeatedly failing her asylum bid while appealing it for ten years.

Working class women over the age of 35 from Ulster or Connaught are the most likely to believe Ireland is taking in too many refugees.

Middle & upper middle class men over the age of 55 from Munster would have the least concern about asylum seekers being relocated in their area.
One of them is the current Táinaiste.
Curious that people under 34 would be more concerned about refugees being relocated in their area than people over 55 and nearly equally concerned as people in the 34-54 demographic. People under 34 are least likely to believe Ireland is taking in too many refugees.
It's possibly linked to their understanding of the pressure these refugees would place on housing demand while people over 55 would be least likely to have housing concerns.

This one made me laugh.
I think they were begging the question asking whether people agreed with this statement:
'I am not happy about the State's failure to provide accommodation for all asylum seekers who arrive here.'
But 40 per cent of respondents were like 'nah, I'm pretty happy they've made a balls of it and there's nowhere to house them.' 🤣

Just to count the lies in one news report:
🔹 Roderic O'Gorman says there was 'very extensive communication' with the local community in Turnapin about putting 302 single male asylum seekers into a warehouse in their area.
In fact, locals only found out about the plan by chance when a young women asked one of them for directions to the direct provision centre as she had a job interview there.
🔹 O'Gorman says a significant majority of the protesters were 'outside actors'.
The Irish Inquiry interviewed several of the protesters who were there that night. They were all local grandparents.
🔹 Virgin Media News claims tents were set on fire outside the International Protection Office in Dublin.
This lie has evolved from the original lie that tents were set on fire at the Trotskyite squat on Sandwith St. That lie has been repeated by Paul Murphy, Simon Harris and the President. You can watch the footage of the squat being dismantled here. There were no tents to set fire to.
