39 people, including five children, were deported from Ireland overnight.
It's the second deportation flight to leave the country this year. In February, 32 people were sent back to Georgia.
Another deportation flight left Dublin last night and landed safely this morning in Georgia. There were 39 people on board who had received but had not complied with Deportation Orders.

The Justice Minister confirmed the flight left Dublin last night and landed safely in Georgia this morning. Jim O'Callaghan said those on board had received but had not complied with deportation orders.
In a statement the Minister said; "Stepping up enforcement and securing our borders is a central commitment of mine. Swift and fair returns of people whose applications have been refused is the foundation of any modern rules-based immigration process."
Georgia, which is located at the dividing line of Asia and Europe, is one of the top countries from which people seek asylum here.
