Ireland should give them straight back to the French...
Ireland is the EU.
They are registered asylum seekers in the UK so they'll be going back to where they're registered.
They're UK registered asylum applicants so we'll be sending them back to Belfast after we take their biometrics. When they realise they'll be just sent back to Belfast they'll stop coming. It's that simple, we're not here to clean up the UKs mess. Talk to France.
@@stephenbroadhurst7653the EU is not a country 🙄
@@stephenbroadhurst7653fun fact recently new EU law passed for the new asylum seekers was pushed by France. So according to the law. Ire land can easily send these people back to France. Since France is considered a safe third country
Irish Government need Talks with Brussels where the illegal migration problem originated. The UK did not cause this open border problem…
Ireland needs to blame Macron for doing nothing on illegal migration…
This is an EU problem. They have come from France and are now in Ireland. Best thing is, the UK does not have to take back a single one of them.
😂😂😂 The EU is not a country you simpleton.
@@RazorMouthhe never said it was?????
@@user-xl8on7sf8o he suggests it is when he says it's an EU problem. Every EU country has their own migration policy. So no it's not an EU problem.
@@RazorMouth so why are all the borders open. Why has a new eu migration pact started . Why are country's that opposed it being fined. Don't be naive.
The EU wants it both ways and thankfully they can't always get their own way.Ireland was difficult over Brexit and now they are winging over the result.
If they don`t record migrants at ports or airports how do they know hey have come from northern Ireland?
Because if they come through our ports we'd have a record, not complicated. We're a friggin island.
@@RazorMouth Yeah is Britain you "simpleton"
@@RazorMouth If they DONT keep a record how can you know? The clue is in not keeping a record.
@@clownofthetimes6727 They're interviewed FFS, are you for real? If only 10 to 20% are claiming asylum at our ports and airports how the fuk do you think they get into the republic? Duhhhhh
Coach loads coming from the North dropping them in Dublin City centre. Some are coming in taxis.
"Safe and legal routes" all we have been told since brexit so sweet, safe and legal and on to Ireland 🇮🇪
On to Ireland and back to Belfast just a quick. After we take their biometrics of course so they're tagged rightly as "UK registered asylum applicants"
@@RazorMouth won't matter your court said it was unsafe so you can't send them to an unsafe country, not without passing a Rwanda style bill which will take years and also break the ECHR and thus th GFA
@@ChrisMurray-iw9ijthat existing law, were bringing in emergency legislation this week. Talk about things you know about. Ultimately they're going back to the UK, simple as that. We have already enough as it is coming off ships and planes, we're not here to fix England's problems. Talk to France.
@@RazorMouth yes exactly seen as England is paying France to stop the boat's from leaving there but they aren't doing there job they made their way into the UK and UK is a safe country why are they saying now UK isn't safe and they taking in thousands for quite some time now
@@margaretmorrissey4540 If GB are sending to Rwanda then under the ECHR it means that to send illegals back to GB is like sending them to an unsafe country by default which makes Ireland and the EU responsible to keep them safe. If you deem Rwanda unsafe you have to deem GB unsafe under EU laws. If they are in the EU countries after being in GB they are your problem now.If you want to send them back to GB then we should be able to send them to your EU neighbours where they came from France. The EU is the EU wether it be France or Ireland.
That would obviously set a precedence that the UK would agree to, they should be sent back to the Schengen Area from where they came... the exit being FRANCE.
EU policy that illeagals from a safe country France , Italy etc can travel on and so they have
They're UK registered asylum applicants so they'll be dropped back to Belfast once we take their biometric data.
Yes eu policy. Like open borders allowing the migrant problem across the whole of europe. Well done Brussels.
@@user-xl8on7sf8o huh? No they're processed as per current laws which is what the UK should be doing. Engage your brain.
@@RazorMouth wow so brainwashed. So you agree with what is happening. No wonder the eu members are moving right. What current laws??. Like the eu paying italy . Greece. Spain to hold the migrants. Then stopped paying so they open there borders. Then Merkel opened all the borders. Or do you think all members agreed and opened there borders.. this is a wef dictate that many are following.
@@RazorMouth you think current eu laws are working? braindead
They've been arriving in Ireland at the behest of the Irish Government for years now when the population is pushing back on it suddenly it's someone else's fault, why can't they just admit they've made a mistake in throwing open the country and inviting people to come.
Pride.
They were mostly coming direct on ships and planes but there has been a massive increase coming from NI recently.
The people didn't do this the TREASONOUS government did all to appease the masters in the EU and to guarantee themselves top jobs . We NEVER asked for this nor do we want it.
France and Ireland are both in the EU.If the UK cant return asylum seekers to France why should the UK accept them from Ireland.?
Probably because they came from there before entering here we have enough of them we can't cater for what's coming through as it is let alone take on more that's fleeing UK and making there way down from the north
because Ireland is a soverign country.
@@lvpt84 and the UK isn't ?
@@lvpt84Ireland lost its sovereignty when they sold it to their overlords in Brussels
@@lvpt84Ireland has less sovereignty than the UK. Irelands takes border orders from the EU l.
sounds eu problem
😂😂 yeah let's see how that works out.
Comming from France via britain , ireland should dend them back....france is the problem here
Yes exactly France is being paid by the UK to stop them from leaving there port but they aren't doing there job once they make their way to the UK send them back to France where they came out of why should we be expected to cater for them we have enough of them here already
France has control of our border so let's not annoy them too much .
Helen is lying. This isnt a Brexit issue. Maybe a handful left the UK for that reason but this has been happening for over a year and its the EU and Irish governments fault.
I am pretty sure they came from France.
Ireland blames migrant influx on Rwanda plan. Ireland blames Rwanda plan for migrant influx.
I didn't vote to leave the EU but have clearly seen that, since Brexit, UK is often used as a scapegoat for EU countries. Just blame the British is a reasonable excuse it seems. Ireland, stop blaming UK. These immigrants are coming from mainland in the first place.
I’m from NI, we’re always stuck in the middle of these bloody border arguments
😂😂😂😂 now that's the biggest load of projection I've heard in a while. The EU lives rent free in the heads of most Brits.
Reunification of Ireland will sort out a lot of this. We now want the date for the Referendum.
Marvellous Idea, then the whole of Ireland can be under EU rulers controlling everything you do. 😊
@googlecontrolled The Island People have had enough of outside interference, and must decide our own future, even if outside the EU also.
There seems to be a huge interest in Irish affairs for the past 24 hours from Britain
@mariannugent3179 Westminster Politicians have no loyalty to Ireland's People, and have always used Ireland for its own benefits.
@@mariannugent3179 Probably because of your government threatening to send illegal immigrants to the UK that started off in the EU - France in the first place. Now they are just back in the EU - Ireland 😊
What about if EU parachutes them to UK?
for immigrants new target location is ireland . irish people must accept the fact. learn to live with this..
I find it incredible that nobody is mentioning the fact that these are unfortunate people we're talking about, who are used like pawns in a financial and political game!
their criminals no one wants them
As soon as they get Irish citizenship they will be able to return legally to the UK.
Whoever produces this isn't doing a very good job. they left a microphone on and i could hear them typing lol
Womp womp. Why should Britain take back migrants from the EU when the EU won’t take any back from Britain. Double standards at its finest
How come they cross the border first place?
Better benefits
@@user-xl8on7sf8o absolutely spot on there 💯 that's exactly why
if they stay in the UK they go to Rwanda so its Rwanda or Ireland
@@graveperil2169 still don't understand, in my knowledge someone inlegally cross the border is terrorism violences policy. I don't want to be funny, however that the logic understating.
@@user-xl8on7sf8o probably better than be killed. It's enough better places in Europe than GB, In my opinion why they don't stay Spain or Italy, or any Balearic countries u still limited so what a pint.
The offlload seems to be working! Ireland can moan about "overcrowding" all day long with a population of six million!!
British terroritory. What.No Irish terroritory. Occupied land.
As a result of Brexit and the UK's withdrawal from the EU, the UK will no longer be able to return asylum seekers to other EU countries under the EU's Dublin Regulation. The Dublin Regulation is a set of rules that determine which EU member state is responsible for examining an asylum application. It allows for the transfer of asylum seekers between EU countries to have their asylum claims processed in the country responsible for their application. With the UK no longer part of the EU and the Dublin Regulation, it has lost the ability to return asylum seekers to other EU countries. This could have implications for the UK's asylum system, as it may result in an increased burden on the UK to process asylum applications itself without the possibility of transferring them to other EU countries.
its ok we have a deal with Rwanda we are going to send them there unless they leave of their own free will PS no border controls for Ireland/EU so its up to them were they want to go
The Irish need to say no to welfare seekers then announce cuts to all economic welfare benefits and they will then work to pay for their own passage to oil rich Saudi Arabia or south Africa
Yes exactly if that was done you'd see some mighty change's in the amount coming in I can assure you benefits here are better there's more on offer to them why wouldn't they want to come here our borders needs to be closed
@@margaretmorrissey4540you can't close northern ireland there will never be a hard border
Thank you for confirming the success of the English plan
They're UK registered asylum applicants so they'll be dropped back to Belfast once we take their biometric data.
Freedom of movement is good for Ireland 😂
Hahahahahaha
Ireland can't say anything take bk your travlers if this is the case
Cope Ireland. Cope EU😂
