A LANDMARK ruling in Belfast which has blocked the Rwanda scheme from applying has sparked accusations that the UK Government has set up a separate immigration system for Northern Ireland.
It delivered a major blow to the Government and the Home Office was on Tuesday told it had been warned the Illegal Migration Act would not work in Northern Ireland. “Those rights seek to address long-standing and specific issues relating to Northern Ireland’s past and do not extend to matters engaged by the Act.
“When it comes to the concerns that I know have been expressed about migrants flocking to Northern Ireland to avoid deportation to Rwanda, there is absolutely no benefit whatsoever of doing so.EU law 'given primacy over UK law' “We are also equally clear that immigration is a reserved matter, which has always been applied uniformly across the UK. We do not accept that the Good Friday Agreement should be read so creatively as to extend to matters such as tackling illegal migration, which is a UK-wide issue and not in any way related to the original intention of the Good Friday Agreement.
