Legal migration ‘could prevent further tragedy’

The directors of a Co Monaghan hire company has said it is “shellshocked” and “gutted” after 39 Chinese people were found dead in one of its trailers.

Nasc, the Migrant and Refugee Rights Centre, has called for the provision of “safe and legal” resettlement for migrants to avoid tragedies such as those in Essex this week.

Fiona Finn, chief executive of Nasc, expressed fears that the closure of legal migration routes would result in further exploitation of migrants.
