The fall in the number GNIB officers is ‘incomprehensible’ given the surge in migrants and asylum seekers in Ireland - Sinn Féin.
The fall in the number Garda í assigned to the National Immigration Bureau is ‘incomprehensible’ given the surge in migrants and asylum seekers arriving in Ireland, Sinn Féin has warned.
He accused the government of failing to follow up on the orders and relying on unsuccessful asylum applicants to leave the country of their own accord. “One of them was to try and increase efforts to try and ensure that once a letter is issued, that it's followed up upon, because too often, in the instance where somebody is not successful in seeking asylum, what happens then is, effectively, in many instances, they just get the letter and if they fail to respond to that, there's very little follow up,” he said.
“I think there is an awful lot more that can be done in terms of cross-checking with accommodation providers, former employers, Revenue and Social Protection to ensure that the location of the person is identified and effect can be given and that they can leave the country - as obviously, they have been unsuccessful.”Deputy Ó Laoghaire said Ireland should treat everyone with decency – but immigration rules do need to be enforced.
