Meath-Based Senator Raises Concerns Over Open Borders Following Belfast Attack - 12/06/2026

In the wake of this week's knife attack in Belfast and the violence that followed, Independent Meath Senator Sharon Keogan says serious questions need to be asked about the operation of open borders on the island of Ireland. The Senator says the incident has raised questions about border security and immigration controls on the island of Ireland. She argues that Ministers with responsibility for justice and immigration should examine what implications the EU Migration Pact may have for the safety and security of the population.While condemning the rioting and disorder seen in Belfast, Senator Keogan has also called on the Government to strengthen immigration and border procedures, saying there must be greater scrutiny of those entering the country.Senator Sharon Keogan joined us on The Agenda this morning to discuss her concerns and why she believes a review is needed.
