Aligning Ireland with EU rules and pressures

Cabinet is set to approve immigration measures on Wednesday, which are expected to include new rules, meaning someone won't be able to apply for citizenship until five years after being granted asylum.

It’s as EU Migration Commissioner Magnus Brunner visits Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan today in CityWest.

Joining Ciara Doherty to discuss this is Matt Carthy, Sinn Féin TD for the Cavan Monaghan Constituency and the party's spokesperson on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration and Barry Ward, Fine Gael TD for Dun Laoghaire.
