London’s reaction caused by the intention of the Dublin Government to legislate so that to be sent back to British soil those asylum-seeking migrants who cross irregularly into the Republic of Ireland from Northern Ireland (which belongs to the United Kingdom).
Irish Justice Minister Helen McIntye told a parliamentary committee in Dublin last week that over 80% of recent immigrant arrivals in the country came from the territory of Northern Ireland.
According to the country’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister Michal Martin, the threat of deporting irregular migrants from the UK to Rwanda after the passage of the law in Westminster has led many migrants to to seek refuge in Ireland.
Ireland’s new prime minister Simon Harris has vowed not to allow his country to become one “window on anyone else’s immigration challenges”.
These statements were answered by a source of the British government, who said that the United Kingdom it will not take back migrants who have crossed the border from Northern Ireland into the Republic of Ireland “until the EU accepts that we too can send them back to France.”
