Ireland is going to have to temporarily place checkpoints on all border crossings with Northern Ireland & deport everyone that came in from that route. If they have a legit asylum claim it should be made in their first safe port, not once they reach Ireland. Similar policies are about to be implemented elsewhere and between much larger European countries. These new checkpoints should just be for human trafficking/fake asylum seekers, nothing else. They should be mounted until the flow is halted. Use the army with at least one member of the Gardai with each military checkpoint. Has to be done. If the army need special one off powers, the Dail should pass them. For what it’s worth I suspect, but can’t yet prove, that much of this is organised human trafficking. We also have to know who the beneficiaries are behind the offshore companies with the massive asylum seeker housing contracts in Ireland. It’s a multi-billion industry in a country that statistically should have much lower numbers of seekers.
