These people are fleeing oppression, why won’t Ireland just let them stay? Can they not just process their applications quicker, or build a processing centre on UK soil and do it there?
Utterly inhuman and dystopian actions by Ireland here.

Can anyone explain how this works? Asylum seekers travel through multiple countries in Europe, manage to get into the UK, but some then continue on through the N. Ireland and seek asylum in Ireland? I don’t get it. Genuine question.

Ah well, Sunak managed to get about 12 hours of headlines out this new distraction.

So when it’s asylum seekers crossing the channel to the UK, we should accommodate everyone and not send them back to France, but when those same asylum seekers realise they might be deported to Rwanda and cross the border into Ireland it all of a sudden becomes a “loophole”?
What an absolutely nonsensical comment. If by some bizarre miracle the Rwanda plan is in fact actually working as a deterrent, how exactly is it our fault that the EU aren’t properly controlling their borders whilst we are?
Maybe he needs to get on the phone to Brussels and have a word with them about what the EU are doing, rather than just letting Italy and Greece struggle by themselves. Awful lot of wanting to have their cake and eat it coming out of the EU the last couple of days.

Makes me chuckle. Ireland wants to send the migrants back to the UK but the UK can’t send immigrants back to France.
The EU really needs to look at itself, it is causing there situation in the first place. If there immigrants didn’t leave France in the first place, Ireland wouldn’t have this issue.

Whatever the Irish say, they won’t be sent back to the UK.
>> But the UK Government rejected any bid by Ireland to return asylum seekers unless France agrees to do the same.
>>A Government source said: “We won’t accept any asylum returns from the EU via Ireland until the EU accepts that we can send them back to France.

That seems fair enough. If it’s supposedly ok to return them to the UK then it’s equally ok to return them to France.
News just in: Ireland to send asylum seekers to Sierra Leone for processing and resettlement.
