Our biggest issue is reactionary Ministers rather than proactive ones
Scrambling would suggest a sense of urgency, just watch as the weeks roll by and we’re told it can’t be changed overnight.
If there’s two things I’m certain about it’s, Rain is coming and Helen McEntee is hugely out of her depth in her ministerial role
brexiteer plan to get ireland to put up a hard border ?
How can it be possible to get to this level in your career, be in charge of something so important that has lives at stake, and have no ability to take any proactive measures. Everything she does she doubles back on, she only reacts when there’s media scrutiny. It’s shocking, I wouldn’t let her manage a deli.
It’s mad that there’s always a scramble and never any foresight with this government.
i was in a border town on wednesday….just off a motorway slip road headed south and a left turn brings you into the town after about 1km. i saw a white van with northern reg let two late middle aged women of, perhaps north african origin get out with a couple of bags and start walking toward the town……not sure which way van went but it didnt head for town. further down the road there was another woman much older probabky mid eastern in traditional type clothing walking very skowly down the road toward the town. looking completely lost. i was in shock.
it was exactly like the pictures we have seen for nearly a decade through southern europe. the walking migrants have arrived. we wont be able to Handle these at all it will be a major mess within months…worse than it is already…and it will play into the right wing narrative.
its all bollocks …the real issues globally are not immigration they are extreme wealth and corporate greed and the gap between rich and poor widening while corrupt fascist psychotic political leaders wage war and destroy the lives of millions and have us all turn on each other….its the 1930’s all over again. the real problem is greed…if greed stops forced mass immigration stops.
Does she have any documented evidence that this is being used as a back door?
I’m not convinced the Rwanda bill is much of a reason for people to leave the UK to go to Ireland.They’d still have to get to the UK in the first place.
Rwanda is crazy expensive for the UK govt. It’s a complete PR exercise. The chance of someone getting caught and deported to Rwanda is incredibly small. Lots of people go to the UK because they have connections there already
The Mac needs to go. Why are we only hearing about the UK/Northern Ireland gateway now?
I’m sure if that particular entry option was addressed two years back, we wouldn’t be as bad or overloaded as we are now.
UK needs to take responsibility too and take back their share or else sanction the cunts.
That minister needs to be removed. Drip feed of information and no accountability for not even being aware of the UK entry problem til thus week.
This is (yet another) classic exame of something that should have been getting worked out a year or two ago when the UK let it be known that they were going down this route, rather than screaming at the last second because of a complete lack of planning, foresight, expertise or diligence.
Yet another reminder that this is the person our government voted full confidence in *after* riots that randomers on reddit saw coming hours away, for which gardai (texts of the rank and file of which later leaked, as they were freaking out over a lack of preparedness for what they also knew was incoming) were entirely unprepared.
Once again all they can do is react. We all knew this was coming.
So our electorate has been manipulated by foreign interests into thinking immigration is the main problem in the country and here we have the government reacting. The system works
I wish the government would scramble to stop vulture funds, cuckoo funds, and reits from destroying the housing market and pushing people into homelessness.
Everything is a forking disaster for this shower. For the most part they are reactive and don’t think or act proactively for what is coming in the future. They are always behind the curve and when something happens it’s a crisis. The civil service in every department has to take the blame to.
The only reason this crisis kicked off and is so urgent is that the UK Prime Minister threw them under the bus. It did this when he said that migrants fleeing over the northern Irish border out of fear showed that the Rwanda plan was working.
In all of the media pieces on this Shit show the government are trying to appear reactive and competent? Well, considering there has been no urgency amongst them to close the loophole that allows failed asylum seekers to stay here for decades, using endless appeals to do so.
I won’t hold my breath.
The government should be negotiating with them to join the U.K.s Rwanda plan and processing asylum claims out of the state to begin with.
We are not in the Schengen common travel area and already have different rules for travel than the rest of the EU. It shouldn’t be too difficult to add a couple of more.
The English would just love the Irish to have to put a border up of some kind.
They love the “oh it’s your problem” approach
Why is she seeking powers to send them back to the UK? They can just walk over the NI border again 10 mins later?
Funnily enough, the only actual way to solve this is an agreement with the UK that undocumented migrants can’t travel to NI. It’s like the Brexit NI protocol all over again, except with people instead of cheese. What a world we live in.
OK I’m an immigrant can you explain this to me? The Irish want open borders with the North as part of GFA. The Brits whine it lets immigrants in. The Irish whine it lets immigrants in. I stare in French with one eyebrow raised.
