US Travel Ban: Enda Kenny orders review of Ireland's US pre-clearance

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has ordered a “full review” of American pre-clearance operations in Ireland in response to US President Donald Trump’s controversial immigration clampdown.

Mr Kenny’s announcement coincided with news that one person was prevented from travelling to the US from Ireland due to the de facto Muslim travel ban since the controversial policy was implemented at the weekend.

A series of Government ministers yesterday condemned Mr Trump’s travel ban amid Cabinet calls for pre-clearance officials in Ireland to ignore the controversial policy.
