"The long-anticipated tightening of our immigration regime has been introduced. In the interests of "social cohesion", Tánaiste Simon Harris said that, among other key changes, asylum-seekers would be making a contribution to state accommodation costs. The logic is that an economy with finite resources can only support a finite population. A system that is "grounded in common sense and is rules-based" was essential. Allowing working international protection applicants to receive free accommodation "simply defies common sense" and "defies fairness", Mr Harris said."

A tightening of the immigration regime has been introduced. Asylum-seekers will be required to contribute to state accommodation costs. The stated rationale frames the economy as having finite resources and a finite population capacity. The policy emphasizes a rules-based system grounded in common sense. Allowing working international protection applicants to receive free accommodation is described as defying common sense and fairness. The measures are presented as necessary to prevent a vacuum that could be exploited by far-right populists. Social cohesion is cited as a guiding objective for these changes.
