The Irish government is considering emergency legislation to deport asylum seekers back to the UK, leading to diplomatic tensions.

The UK's refusal to accept returned asylum seekers from Ireland is linked to the EU's reluctance to allow the UK to send migrants back to France.

An increase in asylum seekers from Northern Ireland to Ireland has been observed following the UK's plan to send irregular migrants to Rwanda.

The UK's Safety of Rwanda Act is now law, with deportations expected to start within 10 to 12 weeks.

The British Prime Minister views Ireland's response as validation of the Rwanda deportation plan's intended deterrent effect.

Recent policy developments have sparked protests and violence in Ireland, highlighting a rise in anti-immigrant sentiment.
