Immigration policy ‘having bad impact’

THE Government’s immigration policy is still failing adults and children residing here, and upcoming legislation might only complicate matters further, a conference heard yesterday.

The Migration Research Fair, held in Trinity College Dublin, featured contributions from a number of academics carrying out research in the area of migration.

The day-long event, which was opened by Minister for Integration Conor Lenihan, focused on a number of different areas, including migration issues in the labour market, the education system, social policy and community relations.
