Abolish the proposed application fees charged to undocumented migrants who are applying to regularise their status under once in a lifetime scheme.
Why is this important?
The proposed scheme allows about 17,000 undocumented migrants to legally apply for residency in Ireland. It will only occur once and be available to them for a limited time. Applying for the scheme will cost €550 per person under the current proposal. This is a prohibitive amount for someone living in Ireland working for less than or minimum wage, particularly if they have been trafficked, abused or taken advantage of.
