She studied law at Queens University Belfast and has a Master's in Human Rights Law from the Irish Centre for Human Rights. Úna is an experienced immigration solicitor and former chair of the Law Society of Northern Ireland's Immigration Practitioners' Group.  

As of the end of last month, the UK customs authorities have been inspecting all foods that enter the country from the EU. But now there's a €145 inspection charge per consignment even though it's not exactly clear what constitutes a consignment. The good news for Irish food exporters is that these rules do not YET apply to us as members of the Common Travel Area. But they will and it could be messy. To discuss further Joe spoke to Carol Lynch is a partner in charge of customs & Trade at with the consultants BDO.

A local migrants rights group claims the Government is dealing with an immigration crisis of its own making, due to a failure to put proper reception conditions in place. New figures from the Department of Justice show less than 200 asylum seekers have been returned to the UK over a six-year period. It comes as an encampment of international protection applicants in Dublin has been removed this morning. On a week when the Irish and UK Governments have been at odds over the return of asylum seekers to the UK, the Justice Minister has now clarified the numbers presenting here from the north. Minister Helen McEntee prevously claimed over 80% of asylum seekers in Ireland have come over the border but has now pointed to Justice Department data which shows the true figure is in fact 91%. Despite this, a Downing Street spokesperson claims the UK has "no legal obligation" to accept the return of asylum seekers who cross the Common Travel Area. Under the Dublin III Regulation, which was a reciprocal return agreement between Ireland and the UK between 2015 and 2020, just 162 asylum seekers were returned to the UK. As 154 asylum seekers were returned here during the same period, this led to a net change of just eight people. Newmarket-on-Fergus native and Professor of Politics at the School of Law and Government at Dublin City University Donncha Ó Beacháin believes Ireland is falling victim to Brexit-era anti-immigrant UK policies. The Rural Independents are calling for a debate on the EU Migration and Asylum Pact in the Dáil today. The pact would see changes in how asylum seekers are processed by placing a focus on efficiently returning unsuccessful applicants to their countries of origin, as well as expediting the processing of those from safe countries or with invalid documents. Rural Independents member and Kerry TD Michael Healy-Rae insists a referendum on the matter is needed. It comes on a day when a major operation has taken place on Mount Street in Dublin to remove what's been described as a "tent city" outside the International Protection Office. Doras CEO John Lannon believes the Government only has itself to blame for the current emergency accommodation crisis.

Cruinniú idir McEntee agus Cleverley curtha ar athlá. A planned meeting between Justice Minister Helen McEntee and British Home Affairs Secretary James Cleverly has been postponed. Tá cruinniú a bhí beartaithe idir an tAire Dlí agus Cirt Helen McEntee agus Rúnaí Gnóthaí Baile na Breataine James Cleverly curtha ar athlá. The two were to discuss the controversy about asylum seekers coming to Ireland from Britain but it is said that James Cleverly is busy with other affairs today. Bhí an bheirt leis an gconspóid faoi iarrthóirí tearmainn ag teacht go hÉirinn ón mBreatain a phlé ach deirtear go bhfuil James Cleverly gafa ag gnóthaí eile inniu. The Department of Justice has confirmed that the two will discuss the matter again soon. Tá sé dearbhaithe ag an an Roinn Dlí agus Cirt go bpléifidh an bheirt an scéal arís go luath. The story relates to the concern of the Irish Government that more immigrants have been coming into the State from Northern Ireland for some time because they fear that they will be deported from the United Kingdom. Baineann an scéal leis an imní atá ar Rialtas na hÉireann go bhfuil níos mó inimirceach ag teacht isteach sa Stát ó Thuaisceart Éireann le tamall mar go bhfuil faitíos orthu go ndíbreofar as an Ríocht Aontaithe iad. Legislation was passed in Britain last week under which asylum seekers can be deported from the country and sent to Rwanda in eastern Africa. Ritheadh reachtaíocht sa Bhreatain an tseachtain seo caite faoinar féidir iarrthóirí tearmainn a dhíbirt as an tír agus a gcur go Ruanda in oirthear na hAfraice. The aim of the legislation is to prevent migrants from arriving in Britain in small boats from France. Is é is aidhm don reachtaíocht imircigh a chur ó theacht chun na Breataine i mbáid bheaga ón bhFrainc. Minister McEntee revealed last week that there had been an increase of over 80% in the number of migrants coming into the State from Northern Ireland and the British Prime Minister claimed that this showed that the new legislation although it had not yet been implemented. Thug an tAire McEntee le fios an tseachtain seo caite go raibh ardú os cionn 80 faoin gcéad tagtha ar an líon imirceach a bhí ag teacht isteach sa Stát ó Thuaisceart Éireann agus mhaigh Príomh-Aire na Breataine gur léirigh sé sin go raibh rath cheana féin ar an reachtaíocht nua cé nach raibh sé curtha i bhfeidhm fós. In light of this crime in British immigration policy, the Irish Government is considering introducing legislation that would allow asylum seekers who have landed in Britain to be sent back there. I bhfianaise an choir seo i bpolasaí inimirce na Breataine, tá Rialtas na hÉireann ag breathnú ar reachtaíocht a thabhairt isteach faoina gceadófaí iarrthóirí tearmainn a tháinig i dtír sa Bhreatain a chur ar ais ann. Yesterday, Taoiseach Simon Harris said that Ireland would not provide a loophole for other countries struggling with the issue of immigration. Inné, dúirt an Taoiseach Simon Harris nach gcuirfeadh Éire bealach éalaithe ar fáil do thíortha eile atá ag streachailt le ceist na hinimirce. It is understood that Helen McEntee and James Cleverly are to discuss the Common Travel Area between Ireland and the United Kingdom with a view to "strengthening" it. Tuigtear go bhfuil Helen McEntee agus James Cleverly chun an Comhlimistéár Taistil idir Éire agus an Ríocht Aontaithe a phlé le súil é a "neartú". According to that agreement, citizens of Ireland and the United Kingdom are allowed to travel without restriction between the two countries. De réir an chomhaontaithe sin, tá cead ag saoránaigh na hÉireann agus na Ríochta Aontaithe taisteal gan srian idir an dá thír. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ

Our reporter Cian McCormack has been hearing reaction from Irish people living in Britain, the British-Irish business community, and the tourist industry here.

Eddie Wilson, CEO of Ryanair says that the Common Travel Area with the UK should be restored from June 1 and non-essential travel within the EU restored from July 1.

As a result of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, many countries and regions have imposed quarantines, #entrybans, or other restrictions for citizens of or recent travellers to the most affected areas.[1] Other countries and regions have imposed global restrictions that apply to all foreign countries and territories, or prevent their own citizens from travelling overseas.[2] Together with a decreased willingness to travel, the restrictions have had a negative economic and social impact on the travel sector in those regions. A possible long-term impact has been a decline of business travel and international conferencing, and the rise of their virtual, online equivalents.[3] Concerns have been raised over the effectiveness of travel restrictions to contain the spread of COVID-19.[4] #Travelban The European Union rejected the idea of suspending the Schengen free travel zone and introducing border controls with Italy,[5][6][7] a decision which has been criticized by some European politicians.[8][9] After some EU member states announced complete closure of their national borders to foreign nationals,[10] the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that "Certain controls may be justified, but general travel bans are not seen as being the most effective by the World Health Organization."[11] Few days later EU closed its external borders.[12] The United States suspended travel from the Schengen Area and later the Common Travel Area,[13] a move that was criticised by EU leaders.[14] weki --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vegansteven/message

Since the recording of this podcast, the election returned a majority Conservative government in Westminster which has since passed the Withdrawal Agreement for leaving the EU. A transition period, lasting at least until the end of 2020, should mean British citizens in EU countries will retain their current rights until at least that period. If you are worried about your situation, you can get advice from independent organisations such as the Immigrant Council of Ireland (https://www.immigrantcouncil.ie/contact). We’re back to Ireland in today’s episode. Joined by Luke Butterly, a journalist who has focussed on bordering between the UK and Ireland, Michaela explores two prominent dimensions of the Brexit at their intersections: the border and migration. As they discuss, the prevailing imaginings of a frictionless border hide from view the racialised politics of the border made visible in who is questioned for their right to cross this border freely. Repositioning questions of Brexit and the border within this politics shifts focus from the history of the British-Irish relationship to how it is caught up in bordering regimes in both countries. They also highlight how  falling back on the Common Travel Area overlooks the rights of UK citizens living in Ireland that rest on EU directives about Freedom of Movement, with the consequence that these have not been addressed.    Find out more about Luke and his work on this contently site https://lukejbutterly.contently.com. 

In this episode Michaela talks over the line with Aoife O’Donoghue, Professor of International Law and Global Governance, Durham University  (https://www.dur.ac.uk/law/staff/display/?id=5868) and Colin Murray, Reader in Public Law at Newcastle University (https://www.ncl.ac.uk/nuls/staff/profile/colinmurray.html#background), about the special relationship between Britain and Ireland and in particular, the Common Travel Area. The CTA has meant that Irish citizens living the UK and British citizens living in Ireland have been treated not as foreigners or aliens, but as equivalent to citizens of each those states. But this has been a nebulous arrangement that for various reasons has always operated informally. And yet, the future rights of these citizens in light of Brexit rest upon this arrangement. As they discuss, this has led to a scrabble to get the CTA updated. With Brexit fast-approaching, and continuing political uncertainty in Westminster, the race is on to get legislation in place to secure in law the protections offered by the CTA.    You can read more about Aoife and Colin’s work on the CTA in their recent report (http://www.nihrc.org/publication/detail/discussion-paper-on-the-common-travel-area)

16 May 2019 – I promised you that in our next show I would get into the myths about Federal debt. This is that show. In addition, Will talks about why we should be going into space – for real. Some of the ideas sound crazy but I think there is enormous value in doing the work that takes us down those paths, regardless. There is so much possibility, why would we not get serious? At the top of the show we touch on the new agreement, between the UK and the Republic of Ireland, to establish a common travel area. Granted, this is a weak tea solution but it’s not nothing.In case you want a quick list of the eight myths about Federal debt which I cover, here goes:Carrying debt is bad for the Federal governmentAnd the corollary, Federal surplus is good (this article provides perspective)The Federal government uses our taxes to “pay for” government spendingThere is a fiscal cliffPassing Federal debt on to future generations is badThe Federal government issues Treasury bonds (debt) to fund spendingFederal debt “crowds out” investors (Stephanie Kelton crushes Paul Krugman on this subject here.)When all else fails, gibberish explains why debt is bad (a special thank-you to JD Alt for this one!)We have been busy but we will keep trying to fit shows in as often as we can. Like carrots, there are so many topics and so little time! Cheers! – Arliss

In this episode, Dr Michaela Benson looks at how Brexit impacts British citizens living in Ireland. What the common travel area means and why it's a lesser known story in Brexit?

We’re thinking about Ireland again this week in an episode devoted to thinking about Free movement between Britain and Ireland and the long history of migration between the two countries. Ever wondered what the Common Travel Area actually is? Michaela talks to Professor Imelda Maher (https://people.ucd.ie/imelda.maher) about what it is (and isn’t), and what Brexit might mean for the future of this agreement. But what does this long relationship mean for migrations between to the two, lives, identities, and a sense of belonging? From her conversation with Professor Mary Gilmartin (https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/people/mary-gilmartin) about the lesser-known story of the second largest minority population in Ireland, British citizens to her conversation with Hannah, a dual Irish-British citizen, Michaela explores questions of citizenship, identity and belonging through the lens of the British-Irish relationship.

Since this recording, we have clarified that the continuation of the Common Travel Area will not require amending legislation. However, there is a concern that post-Brexit, the issue of the 50 / 50 rule, outlined in the Employment Permits Act, whereby the Department of Business will not issue or renew an employment permit where the employer has less than 50% of its employees of EEA/Swiss nationality, will operate to exclude British nationals. This could mean that employers who are currently eligible to obtain an employment permit would become ineligible overnight with a consequent impact on their ability to renew any already-issued employment permit they hold, whether for British or non-EU nationals. Should a Brexit withdrawal agreement be reached, Section 91 of the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Act 2019 as it currently stands would continue to include UK nationals as EEA nationals. However this would not apply in the instance of a no-deal Brexit.

Subjects include the Common Travel Area; the Liffey Ferry; the prison letters of Constance Markievicz; and a story of Irish Military Intelligence during WW2.

The history of the Common Travel Area is discussed by Piaras Mac Éinrí and Gavin Barrett.

In the first part of a two part episode the guys get to know the City of Derry a bit better and how their citizens feel they will be affected by Brexit. In the first episode we talk to Connor Doherty and we talk about the City Deal, and what it could do for the city. We also discuss the the politics of football in Northern Ireland and how that intersects with identity in the region. We also talk with Brenda Stevenson from Derry Girls against Borders, a local activist group that is campaigning to ensure that there will be no North/South or East/West border that could endanger the Northern Irish economy or even the peace process.

This week's podcast sees the guys look at Theresa May's speech on Brexit. Did it move the dial enough to provide a breakthrough in negotiations? In the first half they also review the legal text of phase one of the negotiations, focusing in on the border and the UK and Brussels reaction to it. The interview this week is with Ursula Ní Shabhaois, an Irish language activist. We hear why the Irish Language Act is holding up the restoration of the Northern Irish Assembly, whether a united Ireland is now on the agenda since Brexit, and whether or not the Common Travel Area will actually be retained post Brexit. See an annotated version of Theresa May's speech in the Financial Times here: https://ig.ft.com/may-brexit-speech-annotated/ And a draft of the EU legal text that we discussed in phase one here: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-18-1243_en.htm

Professors Colin Harvey and Lee McGowan discuss the implications of Brexit for the Good Friday Agreement, the Common Travel Area, and the future of Northern Ireland as well as of the United Kingdom as a whole.
