Immigration Control Platform

Immigration Control Platform (ICP) ( Irish : An Feachtas um Smacht ar Inimirce [1] ) is a political group which seeks to restrict immigration to Ireland . It has not registered a political party , but has run non-party candidates in elections.

Positions and organization

The ICP has not applied for political party status. [2] Its website describes it as follows: [3]

  • The aim of the organization is to address the phenomenon of immigration to Ireland and to lobby Government for a tight immigration policy.
  • The organization aims at a very rigorous policy in relation to asylum-seekers, refugees, and a determined response to all illegal immigration.
  • No one who holds views of racial superiority is welcome in the group.

ICP’s main activities are writing letters to newspapers , issuing press releases , and maintaining a website. [4] It has also issued leaflets and occasionally held small protests and pickets . [4] It has an Executive Committee elected by the membership at its AGM. It claims to be funded by membership fees and private donations. Its leaders have described it as a single-issue group. [5] Judith Pryor interprets its policy as favoring white immigrants over non-whites. [1]ICP denies being racist . [6] [7]

ICP has no policy on Irish illegal immigration to the United States , an issue sometimes linked to immigration to Ireland. [5] ICP candidate Ted Neville had his time illegally in the United States. [8]

History

ICP’s most prominent member is Áine Ní Chonaill , whose official title is the public relations officer . [9] A schoolteacher from Clonakilty , she stood in Cork South-West in the 1997 general election as an independent on an anti-immigration platform, winning 0.84% ​​of the first-preference vote. [10] The election came early in the Celtic Tiger economic boom and increase in asylum seekers from Eastern Europe and further afield. ICP was founded at a meeting organized by Ní Chonaill in Ennis on 13 January 1998. [11] The meeting was disrupted byanti-racism activists, and the coming of later ICP conferences was not disclosed in advance. [11] [12]

Harry McGee in 2003 described Irish media coverage of ICP as disproportionate to its small size and hostile to its views. [9] ICP has refused to tell the media or Oireachtas how many members it has. [13] [14]

In 2003 Ní Chonaill along with then-chairman John Oakes attended the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice, Equality, Defense and Women’s Rights. [15] Ní Chonaill felt that a January 2003 Supreme Court decision, which permitted the deportation of illegal immigrants with Irish-born children, did not go far enough. [15] [16] PKI supported the successful 2004 referendum qui restricted citizenship by birth , a practice ICP Said Encouraged birth tourism by pregnant illegal immigrants. Ní Chonaill and Ted Neville of ICP spoke at the Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defense and Equality on 1 April 2015. [5] [14] Anne FerrisICP’s views to Auschwitz . [5] [14]
