Spanish police arrest 'Irish serial killer’

A man detained by Spanish police, suspected of being a serial killer, had been using a fake Irish passport and also held both Italian and French passports.

The man was arrested last week and initial reports in the Spanish media suggested that he was Irish after police found he was in possession of an Irish passport under the name of Martin Sparitt.

@ pndirishandprou, what you post makes no sense. Are you glad that Irish passports are being faked all over the world? Of course it does have to do with all that emigration to Ireland, the Irish have lost control of their own passports because they've given out so many, with the result that the Irish passport is about as genuine as a two-dollar bill.

"This time you can't rant about this criminal having obtained a legitimate Irish passport". No you fool pndirishanddumb, the guy had a FALSE Irish passport. You consummate nitwit, don't you even read these articles and my comments on them? Irish passports are five to the dollar throughout the world now, you imbecile, a "real" one is worth little more than a false one, because Ireland has given them out to all and sundry. Really, are you the stupidest poster here, pndirishdumb? There's a lot of competition!

GeorgeDillon is at it again. This time you can't rant about this criminal having obtained a legitimate Irish passport. The guy had a bunch of fake passports, for which there is a huge market in criminal circles. Moreover, this has nothing to do with immigration into Ireland or anywhere else. This guy is a criminal, period. So relax and go back to sleep, Georgie boy.

Saying that he has a Moroccan father is stating the obvious.

"Fake Irish passport'? Have the Mass Immigrationists so debased the Irish passport that there no longer is such a thing as a GENUINE Irish passport?
