There is a very importing issue that both government parties need to address.
It is great that the government is trying to encourage Irish emigrants to return.
However, we do need to look at Ireland’s immigration policies and the enforcement of such policies.
Has Ireland’s refugee system become immigration by another name?
Did you hear the Marian Finucane program?
(Sunday 26 April – listen to podcast at
RTE Radio 1)
One of her guests was given refugee status in Ireland.
He arrived in Italy by boat, travelled to France, crossed by ferry to England, was detained in England and deported to Italy.
Again he travelled to France, again crossed to England, travelled to Scotland, then to Northern Ireland and then to Dublin and claimed asylum.
He was given asylum in Ireland and then he brought his family from Africa to Ireland.
This Irish asylum system is complete joke!
We need an honest open debate on this issue!
