Discrimination is a significant challenge that vulnerable Irish emigrants often experience when they return to Ireland, it has emerged.

Returning Irish migrants whose partner is not a native of the EU could be adversely affected by the reversal of a recent ruling on cohabitation requirements.

I am writing in response to Peter O’Dwyer’s article, in the Irish Examiner, on the “very generous” welfare payments EU citizens in Ireland “enjoy” (‘EU Citizens enjoy ‘very generous’ welfare here’, Oct 29).

A new report into Irish emigrants to the UK shows that many are at risk of destitution.

Some migrants are facing “unfair” treatment when claiming social welfare payments, according to a new report to be launched tomorrow.
