Unfinished business on the immigrant front

NOW the referendum result is known, perhaps our justice minister can address some unfinished business in the area of asylum.

A few years ago the Government announced it had secured a readmission agreement with Nigeria whose citizens failed to meet the criteria for asylum here.

In the meantime we have given them more than €7 million in grant aid (laughable when you consider they are the world's fourth largest oil producer and far richer than we will ever be) and still there's no readmission agreement in effect.
