Post-European Council: Statements (19 Dec 2018)

Seán Crowe: ...lies on social media that the compact will lead to open borders, that it will legalise all migration, and that illegal migration will no longer exist. These people suggest it will lead to a tidal wave of immigration into Europe and that the compact says migration is a human right, and other similar things. There is no foundation to most of what they say. All of us in this House have a...

Diaspora Issues: Statements (8 Mar 2018)

Seán Crowe: ...D.C. for St. Patrick's Day and I hope he will make reference to the difficulties faced by the undocumented in the USA.

US Executive Order on Immigration: Statements (15 Feb 2017)

Seán Crowe: ...courts but, as we know, that ruling continues to be challenged. Even people with the magic green card were to be refused entry at America's airports, something that was previously unimaginable.

Seán Crowe: No, I am not saying that at all. The Deputy should listen to what I am saying. I have not said that. I read in the conclusions that the meeting also dealt with immigration issues.

There are other countries mentioned in the Bill as having special country status, including South Korea, Canada and Poland, and Australia has been granted 10,000 E3 visas every year since 2005. Is there any reason for the focus on the Irish in the Bill? If it is...

I made the point during debate on a previous Stage that immigration policy seems to be taking precedence over anti-poverty measures. If the purpose of this allowance is to help children and provide support for families in need, we should not separate...
