Call to help undocumented migrants in Ireland

The Government must do more to help the thousands of undocumented migrants living in Ireland, says a campaign group.

The Migrants Rights Centre Ireland said the Filipino, Chinese, and Pakistani migrants faced the same struggles as the undocumented Irish in the US.

Helen Lowry of the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland said: “The Taoiseach has shown a deep understanding for the plight of the undocumented Irish separated from their families, living in the shadows, unable to travel home even for funerals. It’s time for him to acknowledge the people here in Ireland are in exactly the same situation.”
