Tuesday 04 November 2025 - Ireland’s Immigration Crackdown: Has the Coalition Shifted Right?

Update: 2025-11-04

Description

Seven children were among 52 people deported to Georgia last night on a chartered flight from Dublin Airport — the sixth deportation operation so far this year as the government tightens its stance on failed asylum applications.

With the Tánaiste saying migration numbers are now too high, is the coalition shifting to the right on immigration? And what does this signal about attitudes across Ireland?

Joining Kieran Cuddihy to debate this on The Tonight Show:

Fianna Fáil Minister of State Timmy Dooley
Sinn Féin TD & Spokesperson on Justice and Migration Matt Carthy
Mick Clifford, Special Correspondent, Irish Examiner

Later — the political fallout from Ivan Yates’s media training for Fianna Fáil sparks tensions within the coalition, and we’ll ask: is a left-wing outsider about to become mayor of America’s biggest city?
