Social Affairs & Religion Correspondent There are concerns that deportations from Ireland to the UK are increasing ahead of January due to Brexit. The issue has been raised in the Dáil and Seanad by Sinn Féin representatives in the last 24-hours. Deputy Louise O'Reilly and Senator Lynn Boylan have expressed concern that this is happening under the Dublin Regulation. Often referred to as Dublin III; the European Law determines which country is responsible for examining an asylum application. It is normally the country where the asylum seeker first entered Europe. One of the aims of the Regulation is to ensure that an individual does not make multiple applications for asylum in several member states.
