As a self-proclaimed Irish Republican, does the Taoiseach have any shame at all that his Government continues to change our laws around immigration simply to mimic those of Great Britain and the influence Nigel Farage is having on its politics? Today it was announced that there will be family reunification only for the wealthiest of migrants. The Government has set the standard that those on welfare are somehow less worthy of citizenship. It is making people who are earning paltry sums in wages pay for substandard accommodation not as a cost-saving measure to the State but as a form of lesson to those people in such accommodation. How far is the Taoiseach willing to take this? If Britain leaves the European Court of Human Rights, as it is advocating for, will the Government follow? It seems to be following toe in step at the moment.
