Varadkar says he would allow Irish citizens fighting for ISIS to return to Ireland




The Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that he would allow Irish citizens fighting for ISIS to return home as he claimed that it would be wrong to leave someone stateless.

According to The Irish Mirror newspaper, Mr Varadkar who was speaking EU/Arab League Summit, said that a country must take responsibility in such circumstances and it would be wrong to offload problems to another state.

Although Mr Varadkar stated that all cases would have to be evaluated given their circumstances, he said that he would loathe leaving someone stateless.

It is believed that Mr Varadkar made his comments when he was asked about his views on the ongoing situation surrounding Shamima Begum in the UK.
