Our immigration system ‘harms kids in state care’

A report being launched today claims that a “flawed immigration system” is harming migrant children, and in particular those in state care.

‘Child Migration Matters’ is published by the Immigrant Council of Ireland and was written by solicitor Katie Mannion.

It features 32 case studies based on the experiences of young migrants, including some who were trafficked to Europe as children, some who were stateless on arrival, and some seeking international protection.
