- Pat Kenny is joined by Aisling Moloney (Irish Daily Mail) and James Lawless (Fianna Fáil) to discuss the growing tensions between Ireland and the UK over immigration policy.
A meeting between Justice Minister Helen McEntee and Britain's Home Secretary has been postponed amid a brewing migration row.
Helen McEntee and James Cleverly were due to discuss migrants arriving here from the UK through Northern Ireland.
The talks were called off on Sunday night after comments over the weekend from British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that it shows the UK's Rwanda policy is 'already having an impact' as a deterrent.
Mr Sunak also suggested comments from the Irish Government show that illegal migration was a "global challenge".
Taoiseach Simon Harris has said Ireland would "not provide a loophole for anybody else's migration challenges".
He also said that "close" collaboration and cooperation between both governments was "not just desirable, but absolutely essential".
However, a UK government source said the country will not take back asylum seekers who cross the border into Ireland "until the EU accepts that we can send them back to France".
Minister McEntee will bring proposals to Cabinet this week to return people back to the UK when appropriate.
The legislation is being drafted in response to a High Court ruling that found Ireland designating the UK as a "safe third country" for returning asylum seekers, in the context of the Rwanda plan, is contrary to European Union law.
London meeting
It comes as Tánaiste Micheál Martin and Minister McEntee are in London for a meeting of the British Irish Intergovernmental Conference.
Mr Martin will co-chair the gathering along with the British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Chris Heaton-Harris.
The conference is set to discuss a wide range of issues including political stability, security cooperation and addressing the legacy of the Troubles.
Speaking ahead of the meeting, the Tánaiste said he's looking forward to a 'productive conference'.
"I am pleased to be in London for another important meeting of the BIIGC, the first such meeting since the restoration of the Strand I and Strand II institutions," he said.
"As ever, there are numerous areas of mutual interest for the Governments to discuss and I look forward to another productive conference."
Minister McEntee added: "Regular meetings of the British Irish Intergovernmental Conference help promote positive working relationships between our two Governments."
Last week the Tánaiste said the threat of deportation to Rwanda from the UK is impacting on people's decision to come to Ireland.
Micheál Martin told Newstalk the Rwanda policy was already affecting Ireland as people were "fearful" of staying in the UK.
Britain's Rwanda Bill, which will see asylum seekers "entering the UK illegally" sent to the central African nation - regardless of the outcome of their application - was passed last week despite human rights concerns.
Mr Martin said asylum seekers were seeking "to cross the border to get sanctuary here within the European Union as opposed to the potential of being deported to Rwanda".

imagine Pat's reaction if hundreds of asylum seekers were placed in a field next to his home
His wife Cathy can cheat on him when he is in "Work" Cathy is so depressed Pat doesn't(or cannot) give her what she wants so big islamic or african 🍆 would suit her

All paid for by the tv license to
Think he bought the field around his home years ago look up Pat Kenny and you will see a row take place live when he was with Rte
You are correct but in fairness he talks about migrants which is helpful other news platforms never speak about it
I don’t even listen to this bull, I just look at the comments to make me feel happy Ireland is finally waking up…vote them all out
And vote who in?

Give them no money or shelter and they wont come over. The Irish people are paying for their replacement
And so Irish charity and hospitality dies. I get the feeling you would not be saying this about Americans or British coming here to live
@@Gillemearyou sound very bigoted
@@Gillemearof course we would quicker to accept people of a homogenous or cross cultural background. They're more acclimatised to our customs. Not Africans and Middle Easterners or Asians who have no affiliation with a small island country at the edge of the Atlantic. Americans and British don't come to Ireland and birth between 5 - 10 children claim off the dole and free housing for the rest of their lives and then bemoan us and call us all racists in our ancestral lands. Go figure, genius.
@@bobflemming100 How so? I maintain that we should help others regardless of their background. I hate this "give them no money or shelter" rhetoric and the replacement theory is so hilariously wrong it is not worth mentioning. Yet,when people from richer nations come here to work and live, we have no problem! How is calling out that hypocrisy in any way bigoted?

I hate to admit it but it seems reasonable that if we can send them back to the UK; the UK should be able to send them back to France. Fair is fair.
Ireland can't return them, part of being an EU member is open borders.
That could effect their membership if they start turning people away plus these people don't feel safe in the UK with the Rwanda bill, doesn't that violate their human rights?
That's their excuse for not being able to go home.
Being an EU member Ireland has the right to send them to another EU country if they choose, France in this case.
@@dave4803Believe it or not, technically, Ireland doesn’t have open borders with the EU, Ireland isn’t in the Schengen zone because of the Common Travel Area with the UK, there is freedom of movement between Ireland and the other EU countries, but it’s not the same as open borders.

The MSM interviewing the MSM. Predictable and deliberate result.
Absolutely. No other side given a voice. How about having Michael McDowell on !!!
The problem was caused by Europe telling people the could cme there .
But our government allowed it, they're treasonous.
Uks new laws will help ireland in long term, migrants will stay in continent Europe rather then risk being sent to rowanda
My comment got deleted,I said it was carried out by our gov
the problem was caused by the Irish government telling them to cone here. Plenty of countries in EU say no immigrants.
Its not. Its cos we offer SO MUCH to legal and have no policy in place for illegals immigrants , with an easy path right into the country
We are being taken advantage of because our government are bought and sold by Brussels to take what they are given!! But we, the people, didn't sell our souls or sell our land and dignity and pride of oneself and our history and culture to hand down to our next generations to live a safe and happy Irish lifestyle and we have the right to be safe and keep our independence to be free to do so
What a load of rubbish! Ireland and Irish culture survived Famine,war,and colonisation from our next door neighbour. How exactly is any of this at jeopardy from a few thousand people (600,000) who live here legally or otherwise. You mention our history, for heaven's sake, learn from it. Learn about the Exodus due to the famine, Williamite wars, Penal period and various economic recessions where our people went through the same thing as many people do today! Get real!
@@Gillemear Fancy rhetoric but you choose to ignore the type/culture of these illegal immigrants non of whom have any interest in the Irish culture.Stop looking for excuses for these freeloaders
This is nothing like those days. The Irish will be a minority in ten years.
Well said Claire
@@Gillemearwill you wake up 😵💫
The terror is real among Irish people of people and races we don't know. Who's morals and values we don't want or like.
That should be the most important part of the conversation.
Maybe get to know them. Visit cultural centres, research. Don't use ignorant fear and those who promote it to colour your view
That is because you are fearing something that you refuse or can't understand. With that lack of knowledge and effort, comes bigotry and racism.
Well done you
What you two don't get is that we don't have to accept or appreciate their cultures. This is only done on consent of the people to allow it. The vast majority of us don't want mass migration of third world people into our countries. Call it racist or xenophobic or any other Marxist buzzword you want. There's no obligation on the irish to accept any of these people into this country. International law or not is done on consent of the people. Here's an idea if you want to live among this colorful utopia, pack your bags and move to Algeria, or Nigeria or Bangladesh or any of the plethora of third world these people come from and see how far your niceties go. It's hilarious, you hold the door open for the barbarians and then you cry when it all goes array. Why don't you give up your home, or donate your wage directly to these people because you want this. Not the many of us who have been given no choice but to accept it.
@@anonitachi7488 Give over with your juvenile slurs. No one cares what you call us anymore.

Kenny another hypocrite with his nose in the trough!
Why would anyone let her attend a meeting she has no clue about what’s happening in Ireland.
Our government blaming Britain for their own incompetence, its never their fault.
Cause we have clowns in charge
Clowns make one laugh --- our crew --- appear to be stabbing their own people in the back --- follow the money trail in Ireland---- maybe that will divulge how this pathway is operating so smoothly----
To repeat---- follow the money trail--- may lead to indifferent greedy Meeeey Feiners.
With respect, varadka weaponised the border with his EU handlers, if France and the wider EU did more, then this wouldn’t be an issue for Ireland nor the uk.
" with respect" then proceeds to misspell the country's leader's name
Called a typo, no one is perfect. I believe truly that every country has the right to self determination and should be putting its people first. None of our governments really give a toss about any of us. Unless an election is looming. Just my opinion.
Sorry but we left the eu to take control of our border Ireland chose to remain but I feel for the Irish people same as the British we never voted for this
ECHR - that’s the reason the UK got done after leaving the EU, they’ll lose the trade deals if they didn’t sign up to the ECHR, the Marxists run the ECHR and they want to ruin western society by opening up the borders, and they are winning
A United Ireland will fix it!
@@user-rs4rw6oo3vunder the Irish government?😂 That's a reach when they created it!
When do you plan to start taking control of your border?
@@thatsthejobbb8587 Created what?
But Pat your argument is so right wing!! See how easy it is to slander people instead of listening to their concerns, All we can do now is get rid of those in charge who have gotten to this point.
I feel really sorry for the normal decent people of Ireland. This is what we have had to put up with for years from the French who we send millions to every year to stop them coming but the French navy escort them to our waters.
And the RNLI pick them up.
Thanks for that Englishman! Your people have always been too nice to us! 🤣

@@ConnbineHarvester you ve always been nice to us also 😀
Yes exactly they certainly are escorting them in after being paid that's between the UK and France
Irish government responsible
You cannot board a plane anywhere in the world without a passport!! Fact
Immigrants arrive at Dublin airport saying they lost passport.
Irish response ah sure come on in cead mile failure joke of a government
Are you slow learner? They're not flying into Ireland from the UK, they're crossing the border in busses and taxis having travelled from Scotland to NI.
What a spanner.
I do apologise for this Irish Gov. I can assure you that credibility of the Gov among the irish people is falling in leaps and bounds. As this rate they will be lucky to last the rest of the week
Spot the West Briton.
Because France won't stop the boats, it's costing the British taxpayer who will be funding the flights to Rwanda. Not to mention the money the British government gave to the French government to prevent the channel crossings.
We don't give a f... about your problem with France we are not the compost bin of UK.
So that means the British can break their own common travel law and allow undocumented people travel anywhere they want as long as it suits them. How is it France s fault people want to go to the UK.
How is it uks fault people want to go to Ireland
@@bratsdelight they landed in a dingy in the UK. They used ferries and buses it's called law and a passport.
@@TereyocThey are entitled to seek asylum in any country they choose under the ECHR, they are choosing Ireland and there’s not much Ireland can do about it, unless you decide to start processing them overseas, as we have. That’s what’s called law.

If Ireland thinks this is bad wait until the flights start leaving.
UK & France are full ; last stop is the country with the most expensive housing in Europe .
So are we full we are a smaller country and have taken in enough of them between Ukrainians

The 80% figure was not based on any factual information. Ireland has the worst Minister for Justice in the history of the State.
Last year return countries offered to take 1200 people back. The Irish Government sent two back.
When questioned about this the Minister for Justice had no answer. She is an embarrassment.
James cleverly won't entertain McEntee or any of her cohorts 😂

There is no tension. The illegal immigrants just decided they wanted to live in Ireland. I’ll never understand why Ireland refused to have a border after brexit
That's because you don't understand anything.

Get rid of Helen McEntee. She is running away from every meeting. Not supporting our country.
Its not a Brit problem ...if you don't check documentation in all the entry points on the island if Ireland, dont complain about folk walking in from north to south ...irish political hypocrisy
I don't think Brits are in any position to lecture others on immigration policy. Talk about hypocrisy!
I saw a number of British media outlets literally laughing at Ireland's plight. They mostly pointed to Ireland being such an enthusiast during brexit negotiations for keeping the border open with NI. We should tell the British that we are going to join Schengen. And we are a signatory to the Dublin accord, so we can send people back to other EU countries if they were registered there on their arrival in the EU.
Saw that Richard...having a field day saying its our own fault...and it is our Government's fault...we should opt out of EU but Politicians too greedy...won't happen.
They're thinly disguised bigots
We cant join Schengen we are in the Common Travel Area ,London would end the CTA if we joined Schengen
@boohoo79 As an Irish person who lived in the UK, so what? There are 200k Irish living in Britain but there are 300k British living in Ireland.
So what?it means a hard border on this island if the CTA goes that's why it's been there since 1921/22 the UK want to protect "their border"
Kenny is a buffoon
How's Paul connelly doing these days ? Did he get he get his phone back ?
Ireland insisted on an open border with the North - you got it and are now paying the price. Blame your negotiators.
I must say that I feel sorry for the ordinary Irish people, but it’s hard not to be amused. Ireland 🇮🇪 did its best to derail Brexit, insisted on an open border with NI and Irish citizens have greatly benefited from the Common Travel Area arrangements-around 2m in 2001. It’s a bit amusing that NOW you don’t like mass immigration!
How many Brits moved to Ireland post brexit to shop for an EU passport?
Ireland did not seek to derail Brexit. It only felt like that because Brexiters had no plan. Remember? Ireland just did not want to be the collateral damage of Brexit.
The UK is an abject failure. It left the EU to control its borders and can't.... because it left the EU. And Ireland is, as usual, the collateral damage of England's flights of fancy.
@@thatsthejobbb8587To get an Irish passport, you have to be born in Ireland or NI or have very recent Irish ancestry, moving there since Brexit wouldn’t qualify a Brit for quite a few years yet. If you hadn’t sent us your waifs and strays and claimed part of the UK, you wouldn’t have that problem.

The problem for Britain will start when they try to force the migrants on to the planes bound for Rwanda. It will be interesting to see how that pans out.
It will be fine because you man at Ryan will happily fill his pockets with Sterling to get rid
@@StuartHanson-fo7iw It doesn't matter what airline is involved, the migrants are not going to walk out and board the plane, like cattle on the hoof. There will be a mighty struggle. We'll wait and see.
@@StuartHanson-fo7iw So your saying Ryanair will be forcing people on to the planes? I don't think so. They only fly the planes after somebody else puts them on board.
@taintabird23 no,he's saying gov will put them on board but of course Ryanair flight is not free so taxpayers money
The UK government just passed legislation to allow it, have you been asleep? First plane out will mean even more pain for Ireland as they make their way out of the UK, we might even give them some travel sweets for the journey across the open Irish border, and be assured, like France, we won’t be accepting them back.
How's Paul Connolly😮
No out cry here Pat , ireland should send them to Rwanda
Ireland should send them to France, one EU member to another.
@@dave4803They are entitled to do that under the Dublin Convention too, and France has to take them if Ireland insists. The UK has zero obligation to take them back from Ireland, yet there they are, another dreadful Irish government (though not yet matching Varadkar and Coveney in obnoxious smugness), sabre rattling on their little island against the UK again.
@@alunjprice Ireland will kick up a stink but they wanted to be in the EU, this is one of the downsides.
Personally if I was running things in Ireland I would set up a deal with the UK, you send all your migrants here, we'll give them a passport and a one way trip back to France in return for more fishing rights, more trade deals or anything else you give the France, give it us instead.
Be cheaper then Rwanda too.
Ireland could gain off this.
It's a sad reflection of Irish media when Pat Kenny comes across as more balanced and hides his bias more professionally than the rest.
Catch The People Smugglers & Dinghy Supplyers Who Obviously Live & Work From France, (It's Not Rocket Science)!
Ireland need to get their finger out. But the E.U. Is calling the shots so it has no say. Can’t blame the uk for Irelands shortcomings on this subject

Eira wanted no borders....yet when a problem arises because of it, suddenly there is an issue. Migrants illegally enter Ireland via NI. They were permitted to do so by France. The migrants no longer want to come to the Uk because of the Ruanda policy. Let France take responsibility...they are entering Uk and now Ireland because France do nothing.

@@aaronforde9608You understood what was said.
It's the Republic of Ireland, or Éire in the Irish language, not Eira!
Oh so far left i cant listen to them.
Why should Britain negotiate with Ireland? It is an EU border and needs to be negotiated in Brussels. Also Ireland has to comply with the Good Friday Agreement or is that a one-way street?
I really wonder what skills these migrants have to offer?
Making kids cause that's the role of the Muslims woman according to their religion.
Cycling proficiency level 1 from Uber eats

All of the tensions are a result of Ireland's failure to have a hard border. If you want immigration to stop, tell your mates in France to stop sending them over. We've seen immigration crises in Greece, Hungary, Finland, Germany, Spain and Italy. What has the EU done about it. Not much to be honest.
We you're not in the EU. Solve the problem.
@@taintabird23 you solve the problem you created
You can smell the luxury beliefs off the media
It’s not reasonable for the EU to expect Britain to accept non British nationals back where the EU aren’t willing to play by the same rules. The EU cannot reasonably expect to have things both ways. Similarly, the narrative of the British policy not having sufficient capacity is completely irrelevant where the whole purpose of the policy is to serve as a deterrent which is clearly working. Very few economic migrants leaving the safety of France are going to take the risk of being flown outside of the EU
There's no conflict between the governments, it's all part of the great plan.
Both Ireland & France are EU members therefore the same rules apply .it’s not rocket science! Both safe countries .
you could take Newstalk serious is beyond me
Mass migration was confidently promoted or over a decade plus by alll the apparatuses of the irish state.
The Irish people didn’t want this, 80% of a recent poll said we took in too many, Ireland is way smaller then the UK we are even smaller then Iceland size way
The overwhelming majority of people attempting to come to the UK, and now to Ireland, are not genuine refugees. They are economic migrants, and are overwhelmingly young, single men. Being poor doesn't give you a right to claim asylum in a western country. Being poor does not give these men the right to destroy their legal documents and enter a country illegally.
This situation is nearing breaking point for many EU countries, and will no doubt get worse before something drastic has to be done to avoid mass civil unrest across the EU & the UK. There needs to be some serious deterrents to those who are thinking about entering the EU illegally. The Rwanda scheme years ago would have been seen as inhumane, however there is a growing consensus amongst British people that there is a vital requirement for deterrents, and illegal immigrants now attempting to flee the UK for Ireland only strengthens the argument that the Rwanda scheme, and others like it, are necessary.
I almost listened to this until I realised it was "News"talk.
the EU has a lot to answer for.all started with Angela merkal
🎉stop them coming in, in the first place, that way you won't have the bother of sending them back.

No border on the Island of Ireland how's that worked out. 😢😢😢😢
If there was no border in Ireland, this immigration issue would not exist.
Why did we fight for the open boarder again?? Its completely lost on me now 😂
To maintain the peace process. Only the DUP and Brexiters wanted a hard border.
@@taintabird23Eh? EU rules about the single market were the only things likely to cause a hard border.
@@alunjprice The DUP wanted a hard border to undermine the possibility of Irish unity.
The Single Market needs to be protected of course, but for us in Ireland we were concerned about maintaining the GFA. That was the preoccupation.
I imagine if the people visited these politicians homes and protested, putting them under pressure and giving them a taste of what it's like for the average Irish person, they might change their minds 🤔
Ireland can't return them, part of being an EU member is open borders.
That could effect their membership if they start turning people away plus these people don't feel safe in the UK with the Rwanda bill, doesn't that violate their human rights?
That's their excuse they gave us for not being able to go home.
Being an EU member Ireland has the right to send them to another EU country if they choose, France in this case.

Come back
This will escalate... to very much so the troubles era, across the country, and I think it'll get worse. Gardhi have no clue what will hit them. Garda vans, cars will have b words under them if they dont stop this tyranny. The Irish government is creating another oppressive regime and the Irish easily remember their grandparents and great grandparents fighting against the colonialism, they will repeat this, this will cause a country collapse. The farmers are the only thing that can stop them, 40% of them are armed and if the government start seizing land from them, which they will have to do because there are next to no more facilities to house economic migrants, there will be w second letter a, third letter r. And I welcome it, because clearly democracy and voice and reason is gone, especially when the government remove any and all way to argue. Oh but you're anti immigrant, no, Im against bringing so many culturally very different people, men who want things for free, on top of the natives who are poor and account for 99% of the tens of thousands of homeless. Irish people left Ireland, but we never got anything for free, this country is ours, and will remain so, based on the charter created by the first Irish government.

That violates their human rights plus goes against the very core of the EU, could effect their membership.
But France is an EU member as well so if these want to go to France then Ireland can ship them over.
Too late you laughed at Brexit and now we are getting them all!!!!stupidity you cant fix.
Not so dumb now are we?
Ireland thinks this is bad, wait until the planes start leaving.
What a load of nonsense. The Republic said that Ruanda and, thereby the UK, was not safe without doing the "math" as the Americans say! And now the Republic is stuck !!!
How is it allowed they are in the UK and come here no problem? That’s not an asylum seeker fleeing war that’s a migrant worrying about being deported
Remember your neighbour ,you bullied for years over land
Who cares Ireland you brought this on yourself
Live with it!
Out of 188 migrants here their countries allowed and said they would take them back 3 went back. Your telling me 6 months isn’t enough time to bring them back?? Government is a clown show
How about countries decide how many people they allow international protection visas to each year and then proactively find the people most in need and take them from these countries ie genuine people in need of protection. A person who can travel thousand of miles and pay any number of smugglers and intermediaries is not in need of protection, they want a better life, for better or worse the country they enter.
I know a person who works with 'boat people' in Bristol and it seems they're all talking about getting to Northern Ireland and crossing into Ireland.
Frightening, feel sorry for the Irish, only solution is to leave the EU or have some similar policy for France I guess
@@benspq The solution would be for all of Ireland to become part of the UK. This might seem impossible, but the reality is young Irish do not feel or want the hate of their forebears. Irish people are waking up to being 5 million English speaking people in a political union of 450 million foreigners, which is giving them zero say on Ireland's future.
They might think twice if they were really in danger of being sent to Ruwanda
Well, Richi is secretly eating pizza while feeding us slop ❤
Anybody sent to Rwanda will not be coming back.
