Enda Kenny urged to ease migrants’ burden

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has been urged to do more to help those coming to Ireland for a better life, following his comments on immigration in the US last week.

Yesterday was International Day Against Racism, and a number of groups marked the occasion by gathering at the gates of Leinster House to back a Dáil motion to bring about an end to direct provision.

The motion, initiated by People Before Profit TD Bríd Smith in association with United Against Racism, has been signed by 36 TDs.
