Aine Ni Chonaill on Tonight with Vincent Browne
One from the archives. Áine ní Chonaill of the Immigration Control Platform debates the Direct provision and asylum system on Tonight with Vincent Browne. Vincent loses the plot at 23:00.
Ní Chonaill was one of the first people in Ireland to mount resistance against mass immigration into the country. She was the founder and Public relations officer of the Immigration Control Platform (ICP).
She stood in Cork South-West in the 1997 general election as an independent on an anti-immigration platform, winning 0.84% of the first-preference vote. The election came early in the Celtic Tiger economic boom when asylum seekers and immigrants started coming to the country in larger numbers. ICP was founded at a meeting organised by Ní Chonaill in Ennis on 13 January 1998. The meeting was disrupted by anti-racism activists, and the venues of later ICP conferences was not disclosed in advance:

In 2003 Ní Chonaill along with then-chairman John Oakes attended a discussion on immigration at the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice, Equality, Defence and Women's Rights. Ní Chonaill felt that a January 2003 Supreme Court decision, which permitted deportation of illegal immigrants with Irish-born children, did not go far enough. ICP supported the successful 2004 referendum which restricted citizenship by birth, a practice ICP said encouraged birth tourism by pregnant illegal immigrants. Ní Chonaill and Ted Neville of ICP spoke at the Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality on 1 April 2015. During this hearing, Labour TD Anne Ferris was made to withdraw a comment comparing ICP's views to Auschwitz.
