The Government is being called on to provide a pathway to residency for the thousands of undocumented young people in Ireland. The Migrant Rights Centre says up to 3,000 people are missing out on travel, an education, and a career because of the issue. The fear of deportation over their shoulders is too heavy that they don't seek help because any authoritative figure could pose a potential threat. Meanwhile, the Immigrant Council of Ireland has described Verona Murphy's comments on asylum seekers as "outrageous." She described her statement that asylum seekers may need to be "de-programmed" as a poor choice of words.
