Mary Lou accuses govt of offering a ‘gift to the Tories’ on migration but has to defend “open border policy herself”




According to the leader of Sinn Féin, the Government has shown ineptitude and given a “gift to the Tories” in its handling of immigration and returns to Britain, reports RTE.

Mary Lou McDonald informed the Dáil that there was no competent person in command.

She went on to say that since there are some who want to spread animosity and division, it is crucial to be clear.

The leader of Sinn Féin demanded an immigration policy grounded in human rights and common sense, reports RTE.

In response, the Taoiseach stated that racism had no place in Ireland since it is a friendly nation.

According to Simon Harris, there is an operational agreement in place regarding the repatriation of asylum seekers in both directions, and there is a Common Travel Area between Britain and Ireland, reports RTE.
