Irish government publishes proposal to regularise undocumented migrants in Ireland
On 23 April, Irish Minister for Justice Helen McEntee announced her draft proposals for a scheme to regularise thousands of undocumented migrants in Ireland. Although a very welcome proposal, local civil society is concerned that current timeframe criteria (i.e. having lived in Ireland for four years, or three years with children) will leave many behind. The proposal is currently open for consultation and the scheme is expected to enter into force before the end of the year.
