Jessica MageeA 26-year-old man has been jailed for people smuggling after he helped a friend get into Ireland earlier this year in breach of immigration regulations. The court heard that Ahmetay and his friend, both from Albania, were stopped by gardaí at Terminal One, Dublin Airport after they arrived on a flight from Italy. Garda Pat Murry told Marc Thompson Grolimund BL, prosecuting, that Ahmetay’s friend gave a false name and produced a false Bulgarian passport. Both men were interviewed separately, and the first man told gardaí he was an old school friend of Ahmetay’s and was seeking entry into the State under a false passport. The court heard Ahmetay had achieved good GSCE results and had a number of FETAC awards in technology and applied science.
