The “Brexit Express” coaches from Belfast to Dublin are transporting over half a dozen asylum seekers on the journey from Northern Ireland into the Republic.
This trend began six months ago and shows no signs of abating following the passing of the Safety of Rwanda bill. Dublin Express workers are growing exasperated with the number using fake tickets to make the two-and-a-half-hour trip south.
Investigations show refugees find it easy to cross the country’s 310-mile open border. Asylum seekers say they will simply turn around and re-enter the Republic if they are deported to the UK, as Irish prime minister Simon Harris has promised.Â
There are 17 trips a day from Belfast to Dublin on the Dublin Express, and after 125 days this year, the coaches have transported a possible 17,000 asylum seekers, if eight are on board each one.
