80% of asylum seekers in Ireland cross the border from Northern Ireland. The migrants are believed to be trying to escape the “Rwanda Project”.
AdvertisingIrish Deputy Prime Minister Michael Martin and Irish Justice Minister Helen McEntee will travel to London this Monday to attend an intergovernmental conference. The theme is the recent migration crisis in the United Kingdom.
About 80% of asylum seekers in the Republic of Ireland Crossed the border from Northern Ireland. Dublin now wants to reach an agreement with London or even get an emergency bill to allow these migrants to return to the UK.
“Every country has the right to have its own migration policy. But I don't want another country's immigration policy to undermine our integrity,” Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris said.
The recent increase in the number of immigrants to Ireland is believed to be related to the deterrence policy adopted by the United Kingdom known as the “Rwanda Plan”: to send back asylum seekers who cannot stay in the United Kingdom. Rwanda, on chartered flights for that purpose. Migrants flee to the Republic of Ireland in an attempt to escape this fate.
Camps have been set up next to the International Protection Office building, which is responsible for processing asylum claims, as the number of migrants in Dublin rises. And tensions are rising in Irish territory: last week, violent clashes erupted during protests in County Wicklow** against plans to offer shelter to refugees.
Protesters and police accused each other of using excessive force and at least six people were arrested.
