Asylum: Republic of Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum seekers have been sent from the Republic of Ireland to the United Kingdom in the last six months.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
Following our departure from the EU, the previous government agreed to an operational arrangement with Ireland which allows for the return and readmission of asylum seekers. Ireland has not returned anyone to the UK under these arrangements in the last six months.
