The remaining members of the Roma community who were camped out on the M50 roundabout have agreed to the State's offer of free flights back to Romania.

The Garda National Immigration Bureau arrived at the camp this morning and brought the families to Balseskin reception and immigration centre in North Dublin.

They will be repatriated with around 70 other Roma's who agreed to accept flights home earlier in the week.

Rosanna Flynn of Residents Against Racism comments on the voluntary repatriation of the Roma people at the M50.
