Link to this: Individually | In context
28. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if, given increasing public concern and anecdotal reports, he is aware of instances of individuals who have claimed asylum in the Republic of Ireland who are also travelling to and from the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland, after having made similar claims in that jurisdiction; if there is any evidence that such individuals may be in receipt of social welfare or state supports from both jurisdictions concurrently; and the bilateral mechanisms currently in place between Irish and UK authorities to monitor and prevent potential cross-Border fraud of this nature, particularly following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union.
