Independent TD Michael McNamara has raised the case in the Dáil of a young man from the Indian subcontinent who travelled to the United Kingdom on a valid student visa issued by the UK Government.The man wanted to work more, and he went to an agency in the UK which told him it could get him full employment permission in Ireland and arrange travel along with a work permit.
It arranged his travel to Liverpool and from there a ferry to Belfast. He travelled from there to Dublin. He was given the Eircode and postal address of his employer. He turned up there to find it was the International Protection Office in Dublin. "He is now in Ireland. He is trying to get out of the asylum system and return to the United Kingdom. He does not have his passport," Mr McNamara added.
"However, it is equally clear that our State is being exploited by those bad actors. While the Punch and Judy show the Government is engaging in with the UK authorities is all well and good, I want to know what the Taoiseach can do and what hope there is of international co-operation to resolve this.
