flag Ireland proposes weekly fees for working asylum seekers, risking debt and citizenship denial.

flag Ireland is considering charging working asylum seekers in IPAS centers €15 to €238 weekly based on income, with non-payment potentially leading to debt collection and denial of citizenship. flag The plan, under review by the Cabinet sub-committee on migration, aims to align with a Programme for Government commitment and comes amid rising anti-asylum seeker sentiment and an arson attack on a Drogheda center. flag Over 5,000 people, many with legal rights to stay, remain in IPAS facilities. flag Implementation could take nine to 12 months, with broader migration policy changes also under discussion.
