Migrant rights group raises concerns at deportation rhetoric

Some 128 deportation orders have been signed in January 2023, the Department of Justice confirmed.

Migrant rights campaigners have raised concerns about a perceived hardening of the State's position on asylum-seekers arriving in Ireland.

Fiona Hurley, chief executive of migrant rights centre Nasc, has warned of a changing tone towards asylum-seekers and cautioned a speeded-up process for applicants may do a disservice to people who genuinely need help.
