Ierland stuurt extra agenten naar grensgebied met Noord-Ierland

DUBLIN (ANP) – In Ierland zullen tot honderd extra agenten zich richten op illegale migratie vanuit Noord-Ierland. Een deel van hen wordt ingezet bij de grens. Ierse media berichten dat dit de nieuwste ontwikkeling is in het conflict tussen Dublin en Londen over asielzoekers.

The Irish Times schrijft dat de focus van het verwerken van asielaanvragen wordt verlegd naar preventie en uitzettingen. De extra agenten gaan zich volgens The Irish Independent bezighouden met immigranten die in het Verenigd Koninkrijk een asielstatus hadden kunnen aanvragen, maar zijn doorgereisd naar Ierland. Justitieminister Helen McEntee wil wetten invoeren die de uitzetting van asielzoekers naar het VK moeten vergemakkelijken.

De Britse premier Rishi Sunak verklaarde maandag “niet geïnteresseerd” te zijn in een deal met Ierland over de terugkeer van asielzoekers naar het VK, hoewel daar eerder al afspraken over zijn gemaakt. Hij zei dat na een overleg tussen Britse en Ierse ministers over het toegenomen aantal immigranten dat via Noord-Ierland naar Ierland gaat.

Gedwongen uitzettingen

De grens tussen Ierland en Noord-Ierland is opengebleven na het vertrek van het Verenigd Koninkrijk uit de Europese Unie in 2020. Het voorkomen van een harde grens was belangrijk bij de Brexitonderhandelingen. In het Goedevrijdagakkoord uit 1998, dat decennialang geweld tussen Ierse nationalisten en pro-Britse unionisten beëindigde, staat onder meer dat de grens moet openblijven en dat er geen grensposten moeten komen.

Sunak beschouwt het terugdringen van illegale immigratie als een van zijn prioriteiten. Zijn regering heeft wetten doorgevoerd die het mogelijk moeten maken om asielzoekers uit te zetten naar Rwanda, dat in ruil daarvoor geld ontvangt. In Ierland zijn zorgen dat de gedwongen uitzettingen, die nog moeten plaatsvinden, leiden tot de komst van veel meer illegale immigranten vanuit het VK.
