The racialisation of refugee status and the use of our limited resources for political ends over humanitarian ends.
A good start
Why was this ever allowed?
A lot people who are legally resident in Ireland aren’t even allowed to legally go up north without a visa yet we let “refugees” fly between member states and abuse the system?
Irish family members have no right of entry and residence in Ireland
Other EU citizens family members have right of entry and residence.
The Irish Dept of Justice and Equality operate from a position of disloyalty to Irish citizens.
Irish Public servants on salary and pension operating a policy of disloyalty to Irish Citizens.
Seems to make sense and from what I could tell we aren’t the only country to do this ok the past.
Good.
A tiny first step, but a hugely symbolic one: the first time in fully two decades that a Government of Ireland has said “not everyone who wants to come and live in Ireland can do so”.
