The number of EU nationals removed from Ireland has more than quadrupled over the past year, according to a Government Minister.
Colm Brophy, Minister of State for Migration, told the Dáil that 99 European citizens have been removed from the country so far this year, compared with 24 in 2024, describing it as a “large increase”, reports Breaking News.

Speaking during a Dáil debate on migration and Ireland’s asylum system on Wednesday, he explained that EU citizens may be made subject to removal orders under existing free movement laws.
Mr Brophy said: “These orders can be made on the grounds that an individual’s personal conduct represents a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat affecting one of the fundamental interests of society,” reports Breaking News.
He noted this included the deportation of 23 Romanian citizens who were flown out of Ireland by charter flight last month, reports Breaking News.
