 Sunday April 13, 2003 10:46 by Cllr Eoin O'Broin - Sinn Fein eoinobroin at hotmail dot com
 O Snodaigh calls on Government to defy EU Directive Sinn Féin calls on Minister for Justice to defy the EU and withrdaw the proposed Immigration Bull. Immigration Bill violates human rights Deputy Ó Snodaigh said: ``Ireland must defy the European Directive and refuse to introduce such legislation as it violates international law. If we are then taken to the European Court of Justice, this would allow us to take the lead in challenging it at European level, as we should have done at an earlier stage. I urge the Government most strongly to reconsider this Bill, to withdraw it, and in its place to introduce positive immigration reforms such as those advocated by Sinn Féin.''

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6How come Sinn Fein hasn't issued a squeak about the grossly unfair treatment of Argentinians of Irish ancestry, who for years have been trying to get the opportunity to work in the land of their ancestors ? These are people from communities who have kept up their links with Ireland despite the enormous geographical distance from us. Yes SF seems to prefer that we admit an endless stream of people from countries who have not the slightest interest in Ireland or affinity with this country.
the racism in ireland is terrible - just ask people on parnell street and you hear the stories.
Good to see Sinn Fein taking up this cause, since few others on the left will.
Quite possibly the silliest posting this year.
Diego by your bizarre reasoning it is hypocritical for a political party to respond to a bill which is regressive, reactive and a rolling back of human rights as we understand them beacuse nobody said nothing ever about the descentants of irish famine survivors.
Well why don't you enlighten us all about the irish/argentians and their struggle. Alternatively you could email any of the tds (sf or other) in leinster house and ask them what there attitude is.
