Sinn Féin borders on the irate as Harris questions its stance on immigration

Don’t take our word for it – it’s printed in their election literature: “The Government has no plan for immigration. Their approach has been shambolic. Sinn Féin is opposed to open borders – Ireland, like every other country must have control of its borders.”Birthday girl Mary Lou looking fab as Simon ‘Mr Congeniality’ Harris wishes her a happy birthdayThese are the opening lines in the section headed “Immigration” which is highlighted in reverse type on the party’s local election leaflets.

Which it sounds good, reads well, doesn’t require action and will appeal to the growing number of voters presenting election candidates with difficult queries about the large number of migrants coming into Ireland each week, with the overwhelming majority now coming from the North.

He called for honest debate because some parties in the Dáil are now talking about “not being in favour of open borders”. The TD for Cork South Central was incensed. He wanted to correct the “factually untrue” statement about what was in the leaflets. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know what’s going on here,” murmured mystified Simon. “Even the rest of the Opposition thinks it’s true.”
