on the back page I came across article by Gene Kerrigan on 8/10/
about how this government has treated people who are asylum seekers
it is what I call good journalism
nice one Gene,
about Betie crocidle like Diana tears on RTE
also Gene Article 15/10/ about Mc Dowell support for Bertice
You're obviously confusing the Immigration, Residence & Protection Bill with the Employment Permits Bill (which contains its own problems). If you read the heads of the new Immigration Bill, you will see pretty clearly that it does not offer protection but instead attempts to curb civil and constitutional rights.
That is terrible, imagine denying asylum seekers the right to marry - simply unbelievable. You would think, in a Catholic country such as this, that they would even be allowed this basic right.
Although you would think that it doesn't really matter about the abolition of the tribunal stage, its all so blatantly unfair anyway that asylum seekers are not given a decent crack at the whip and it seems alot of them dont get to stay here anyway.
The deportation of immigrants for minor traffic offences.
The issuing of bio-metric ID's to immigrants.
The right of Gardai to demand the bio-metric ID.
(aparthied S.A comes to mind)
The detail of the bill is at http://www.justice.ie
Broadly welcoming a bill which infringes basic civil rights by a Tanaiste (for the moment)
noted for flawed and discriminatory legislation which is open to constituional challenge,
and whom is involved in criminalising news gathering, and subjecting you as a citizen to
the longest Traffic Data retention period inside Europe and globally, would seem to be either
a lack of knowlege about the broad aspects of the Bill, or an unwillingness to face
up to the Continous erosion of citizen rights by the dept of Justice.
The blurbs and pretty folders that Michael uses to transmit the white-wash to a public
comprised of people too busy to care or too complacent to question is allowing for
infringement of basic rights.
Meanwhile he is seeking to limit two countries immigrants for work purposes
at the moment.
I have to say that I broadly welcome the forthcoming immigration bill that the government is bringing in. We need it to protect immigrants as well as Irish people from rogue Irish employers who only see immigrants as a cheap work alternative to Irish workers. I also believe that ngo's out there who have also welcomed this bill deserve to be credited in some way for their work too.
