Proponents argue that this strategy would bolster national security by minimizing the risk of potential terrorists entering the country. Enhanced screening processes, once implemented, would provide a more thorough assessment of applicants, reducing the likelihood of malicious actors gaining entry. Critics argue that such a policy might inadvertently promote discrimination by broadly categorizing individuals based on their nation of origin rather than specific, credible threat intelligence. It may strain diplomatic relations with the affected countries and potentially harm the perception of the nation enacting the ban, being seen as hostile or prejudiced towards certain international communities. Additionally, genuine refugees fleeing terrorism or persecution in their home countries might be unjustly denied safe haven.

Yes. But not based on ability to screen for terrorism, it should be based on screening for any history of violent or sexual crimes
@9NXPTSZ6mos6MO
This is a tricky question as on the one hand yes terrorists must be screened but you can’t abandon those who need the help
@9N6X3746mos6MO
No, living in a high risk country is a reason to immigrate. Our government needs to improve it's ability to screen and implement deportation measures to anyone with a high profile.
@9ZMWDWB5 days5D
Should be banned from entering the country until the government improves its ability to screen out potential criminals, high risk background and terrorists
@9ZMSDTX 5 days5D
I don’t think anyone should be banned but there definitely needs to be a way to filter out felons and criminals from entering the country.

I don’t think terrorism is a massive concern for Ireland however Ireland needs not currently able to facilitate high levels of immigration
@9ZMFMTB6 days6D
A background check should be done on anyone wanting to enter the country from a high risk area, this would be done in other countries
@9ZMDQZ56 days6D
I think refugee centres in place to gorse people while screening takes place could work. As leaving people in an unsafe country could mean death.
