The DoJ has responsibility for reporting systemic 'weaknesses' to the Minister. It has no responsibility for amending laws and you should be thankful for that.

The guy must have thought Ireland is a similar first world country with sensible immigration laws - for example if you are from a country that exports terrorists, usually of the Muslim kind, you should be profiled and more extensively vetted than those from other countries. It's not that hard a concept to grasp. But that's rayyycist apparently.

I'd consider this incident to be a serious example of either a systematic weakness in our border control laws or inadequate processes to ensure existing laws are complied with. So, as I said in my first post, the DoJ has much to answer for though as recent whistleblower experiences show, they seem answerable to no-one and accountable for nothing.
