IRA concerned over Dublin’s ‘tent city’ as asylum seekers flee Northern Ireland amid Rwanda deportations

30th Apr 24 1:02 pm

The Republic of Ireland has seen an explosion of asylum seekers flee Northern Ireland to escape Rishi Sunakโ€™s Rwanda deportation scheme.

According to the Irish Examiner there is around 1,700 asylum seekers in Ireland and a huge โ€œtent cityโ€ has formed in Dublin outside an immigration centre.

British and Irish MPs are locked in an argument over migration which is escalating and asylum seekers are angry over a plan to move them back to Northern Ireland.

This has become a very big issue, โ€œespecially with the IRAโ€ and Irish people want them sent from Dublin back to Northern Ireland.

The MailOnline reported that the asylum seekers fled to the Republic as they fear being deported to Rwanda.

A 24-year old refugee, Abdul told the publication it is โ€œnot fairโ€ he was forced to travel to Dublin to avoid being sent to Rwanda after he travelled from Afghanistan.

He told the MailOnline, โ€œThere is a word – humanity. Everyone needs to be a human, we are humans. We have a problem in our country. I got here today from Northern Ireland.โ€

Asked why he went to Ireland, he said, โ€œRwanda – I think this is not good. Our country we are in the bull****- they are trying to apply their policies and rule on us.โ€

He added that he is in Ireland โ€œbecause of UK prime minister Rishi Sunakโ€ and that he wants a โ€œnormal lifeโ€ so he can have access to โ€œmedical facilities and all these things.โ€

Speaking about the tents, an Irish pensioner told MailOnline, โ€œIt’s not just happening in the last couple of weeks because of Rwanda. This has been going on for a year now.

โ€œI don’t know how many are down here now sleeping rough. I don’t think we can [legally] send them back to Northern Ireland.โ€

He accused the UK of โ€œplaying a very dodgy gameโ€ adding, โ€œit’s a big big issue, especially with the IRA.โ€

He added the Irish people โ€œ100%โ€ want the asylum seekers sent back to Northern Ireland.
