I ask people who get hot under the collar about the asylum system to think about the moral implications of what is going on. This is not a game of legal cat and mouse. It is a moral issue. These are real resources being diverted away from many deserving causes to this other deserving cause. Those who think it should be open to asylum seekers to come to Ireland and engage with the asylum system as if it were not serious business and there were no implications for the State in terms of resources are short-changing themselves in terms of moral judgment.
