The co-Leader of the Social Democrats has described as "shocking", figures which show that 7% of people are being contacted after arriving in Ireland to check their location.
The figures also show that half of contact calls are being answered. Speaking on RTÉ's Today with Sarah McInerney, Róisín Shortall said the government is "asleep at the wheel" and has "little or no control" over the status of people travelling into Ireland.
Just over 4,000 follow up calls were made to check up on 60,000 people arriving in to Dublin Airport in the first two weeks in July, according to figures from the Department of Justice released in response to a parliamentary question from the Social Democrats co-leader.
