       An agency in London is allegedly telling dozens of migrants – possibly hundreds – that they can secure them full employment rights in Ireland.

       People are then being charged £1,500 and having their passports confiscated, before being told they will have to pay another £1,000 when they start working.

       But when they arrive, the alleged business doesn't exist and the migrants have been sent to the International Protection Office, where they are forced to claim asylum.

       Independent TD Michael McNamara said he has been in contact with a man from the Indian subcontinent that entered the UK on a visa approved by the Government there which allowed him to work for 10 hours per week.

       Mr McNamara said: "They took £1,500 from him and retained his passport so that he would pay an additional £1,000 when he started work.

       "They arranged his travelling to Liverpool and from there a ferry to Belfast from where he travelled down to Dublin."

       Mr McNamara said the man was given the postcode and postal address of his new employer, but added: "When he turned up there, it was the International Protection Office (IPO) in Dublin.

       "He obviously didn't know he was being sent to the IPO."

       Addressing Taoiseach Simon Harris during Leaders' Questions, Mr McNamara told the Dail that the man was one of five people travelling in a similar way, organised by the same agents.

       "He knows of 30 more people sent to Ireland by the agency in the same way".

       Mr McNamara said the man is now attempting to get out of the asylum system in Ireland and return to the UK but he does not have his passport.

       "It's very clear that vulnerable people in a precarious position are being horribly exploited by bad actors.

       "But it's equally clear that our State is being exploited by those bad actors.

       "And while the Punch and Judy show that your Government is engaging in with UK authorities is all well and good, I want to know, Taoiseach, what you can do and hope there is of international cooperation to resolve this?"

       Mr McNamara said the existence of the agency involved in this case suggests that there are many others operating.

       In a subsequent session in the Dail, the Labour Party leader raised the migrant encampment along Dublin's Grand Canal which has grown to more than 100 tents.

       The encampment emerged shortly after more than 200 asylum seekers were cleared from a similar makeshift camp at the nearby IPO on Mount Street.

       Ivana Bacik told the Taoiseach: "It is inhumane, it is unsustainable and your Government has failed to offer a coherent plan that is needed longer term to provide accommodation."

       Speaking during a debate on the week's order of business, she added that a notice had gone up on Mount Street advising those who are in tented accommodation provided by the International Protection Accommodation Service that they can avail of an increased daily expense allowance if they leave voluntarily.

       "It is clearly a desperate stopgap attempt to move people on without any reality in the provision of longer term accommodation."

       Mr Harris said the Mount Street operation had a "very positive impact" and averted a "public health near-emergency".

       He said: "I continue to believe that it was the right action to take.

       "I became Taoiseach four weeks ago, I took charge of this situation.

       "There had been, in my view, a tacit acceptance by many State agencies that the situation on Mount Street could just continue and was just the new norm. That was not right."

       He added: "We will deal with the Grand Canal.

       "Action will be taken."

       The Daily Express has revealed smuggling gangs are using ‘facilitators’ to move people across the land border from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland.

       Asylum seekers camping in squalid conditions in Dublin claimed UK-based criminals were charging up to £3,600 for passage from Belfast.

       The 310-mile land border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is the most popular route, with gangs exploiting virtually unguarded roads, intelligence suggests.

       Separate sources have also told this newspaper the Garda has increased checks on buses crossing the border.

       And they warned ferry crossings from ports such as Liverpool and Stranraer, Scotland, provide another route to escape the Rwanda deportation plan.

       Facilitators often act as crucial conduits between the criminals and those hoping to cross the English Channel.

       The National Crime Agency confirmed: “Organised crime-enabled abuse of legitimate routes such as the common travel area (CTA) continues to pose a significant threat to the UK border and immigration system.

       “It is likely that a proportion of the irregular migrants claiming asylum in Ireland have entered via the land border with Northern Ireland on the instructions of facilitators acting on behalf of OCGs.

       “The NCA leads the law enforcement response to the organised criminality involved in the trafficking and smuggling of people to the UK. We use the full suite of powers at our disposal to disrupt OCGs.

       “We have seen before how OCGs evolve their tactics in response to law enforcement and government action. The NCA’s role is to continue to focus on the organised crime element involved and do all we can to disrupt and dismantle those criminal networks.”
