    What I don’t understand is why when it was happening in Calais you were all fundraising and donating to help for Calais, now it’s sorted by closing the camps a d letting them go wandering and Ireland has the problem you’re aghast. Total NIMBY. Cannot send them back to UK as UK send them to France-Germany-Italy etc. it’s not a problem that can be sorted. Get on with it. Maybe it’s the cost Ireland have to pay for the EU backing u up re Brexit
