FYI: Trump’s ban has been rolled out at Dublin and Shannon Airports

by

You don’t have to look too far to see the chaos and anguish President Trump’s Executive Order has caused this weekend.

And, Internet and newspapers aside, the Order – banning nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US – has been implemented in Ireland.

The Order bans nationals from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, from entering the States for three months. The period has been extended to four months for refugees from these countries.

Currently, people affected by the ban are being turned away from check-in desks and removed from planes.

The US Embassy in Ireland confirmed in a press release that the Order is in force at Dublin and Shannon Airports.

“The US Department of State and Department of Homeland Security are reviewing the President’s Executive Order on Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States, and working to implement it immediately,” the statement read.

There was also a special message for those planning to attend pre-scheduled visa meetings:

“Nationals of these countries, including dual nationals, who have already scheduled a visa interview at US Embassy Dublin should not attend their appointment, as we will not be able to proceed with the visa interview.”

Needless to say, Twitter users are shocked and outraged by the move:

Meanwhile, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Charlie Flanagan has released a statement to say that he ‘shares the concerns’ over the impact of Trump’s order.
