There is also strong support here for a ‘Rwanda-style’ policy to deter migrants coming to Ireland, the poll finds. An overwhelming 82pc of people want immigrants who have come here from Britain through Northern Ireland to be deported back to the UK. The poll finds 50pc want checkpoints on the Border to deter migrants. This rises to 52pc among Sinn Féin voters. Both the Government and Sinn Féin have firmly ruled out checkpoints on the Border and a Rwanda-style policy.
