The High Cost of Dublin’s Migrant Barriers: Who Really Pays?
In this video, I explore the growing issue of migrant barriers in Dublin, focussing on the extensive costs involved in installing fences around the International Protection Office (IPO) buildings and along the Grand Canal. These barriers, designed to prevent migrants from setting up camps, are not only costing the Irish taxpayer a fortune but are also having a significant impact on local businesses and the hospitality sector. Join me as I delve into how these measures are affecting the community, disrupting trade, and sparking debate in one of Dublin’s busiest areas. Additionally, we seek out more migrants for their perspectives, and I ask some of them directly why they come to Ireland. Are the Irish really happy to pay for all this?
