The checks were only carried out in cases where there were doubts as to the person’s age.

We really had our heads over our eyes and ears to the rest of Europe because we were understandably shielded from this level of it and we’re an island, but by fuck the rest of Europe are saying told you so. Like you would always hear examples of 25-30 year old men in Germany claiming to be minors in Germany, Sweden and France. This is no shock.

Only now? That has been going on for decades in other countries…
If they’re concerned it’s a bigger issue than they want to let on.
They’re not in control and don’t have a clue who’s entering the country.
No documents should mean they get turfed out on the spot.
It’s presumably always been an issue.
That’s why no one complained about the 16 and 17 year old asylum seekers going missing from Tusla over the years.
They are just drawing additional attention to it amoung their staff now.
Yeah its quite common in other countries unfortunately.
