Taoiseach Simon Harris has supported Garda checkpoints to prevent illegal entry into the State, calling them a “practical measure” to uphold regulations.
The checkpoints, conducted over the past week, resulted in 50 individuals being intercepted at the border with Northern Ireland.
These individuals were returned to Holyhead or Belfast without valid visas or documentation.
The multiple Garda operations signify heightened efforts to enforce entry rules and maintain border security. Harris emphasized the necessity of such measures to effectively uphold immigration protocols.
The interception of 50 individuals underscores the significance of border surveillance amid ongoing concerns over illegal entry into the country.
The collaborative efforts between Garda authorities and border checkpoints serve as a proactive response to potential breaches in immigration laws.
Harris’s endorsement of these measures highlights the government’s commitment to safeguarding border integrity and rigorously enforcing entry regulations.
As Ireland remains vigilant against unauthorized entry, the recent interceptions underscore the ongoing challenges in effectively managing border security.
