The Taoiseach Simon Harris has promised a 'speedy' review into welfare supports and housing entitlements for asylum seekers.
Writing in the Sunday Independent, Simon Harris says he's working to 'pull levers' in Government departments, to ensure Ireland develops a firmer system on migration.
The review will come alongside an increase in workplace inspections to crack-down on illegal employment and ensure all employees have permits to work.
It comes amid concerns that Ireland has become a 'soft spot' for migrants due to generous welfare entitlements and easy access to employment.
