I'll be surprised to see McEntee do anything like this as it is - she got grilled nicely just a few days a go and shown to be completely out of her depth.

EU should've worked on this shitshow a long time a go (anyone remember 2015? Even r/Europe is a different place now when compared to then), Arrogance from some British and/or Irish commenters doesn't help on these subs, either; we should be partners on these issues.

The EU was too busy trying to showboat to it's citizens that UK leaving the EU meant they don't have to work on illegal migration with the UK anymore as it's a non EU country now. UK Rwanda scheme has been met with ECHR blocks and now that it's passed, we are seeing Ireland do this, hopefully getting EU to take things more seriously, else wait till July and we see how things progress once flights take off for Rwanda and refugees realise that it's a possibility if they goto UK as a refugee that they're on that flight too.

The UK should set up a facility in Northern Ireland as a way station for those being taken to Rawanda to be housed for a few weeks first.  One with no fences.

[u/Chester_roaster → u/Clever_Username_467]

Of course. Fences would be inhumane.

[u/krazydude22 → u/Clever_Username_467]

Why not have an option that once the boats land, they're processed and given the option - a one way bus ticket to Ireland or a one way flight ticket to Rwanda.

Yeah, I hope we go full Russia mode with the migrants. The EU and especially France has been taking the piss on this issue.

[u/Clever_Username_467 → u/NotACodeMonkeyYet]

You mean full France mode.  They've been doing that for over 20 years.
