Immigration Control Platform
- Immigration Control Platform
The Immigration Control Platform (ICP) is an Irish political grouping, which has run candidates in the 2002 and 2007 Irish general elections. It has not registered as a political party, so its candidates ran as independents.
ICP emphasises the following viewpointsFact|date=June 2007:
* Excessive immigration is not beneficial for Ireland
* In many cases immigrants are abusing the Asylum and Student Visa systems to gain entry to Ireland
* No consultation about immigration has ever occurred
* Ireland is a "soft-touch" for illegal immigrants arriving and not being deported
* Ireland accepts a disproportionate amount of immigrants
* Immigration increases the size of the national cake but also the number who must eat from it, without any necessary overall economic benefit and lots of social deficits
The group has a public spokesperson or 'PRO' in Áine Ní Chonaill and an Executive Committee elected by the membership at its AGM.
The ICP refuses to reveal the sources of its funding or the size of its membership (both required for registration as a legitimate political party). [Irish Times, 19th May, 2007. Available: http://www.ireland.com/focus/election2007/features/features19.html Accessed: 13th May, 2008.] In the past ICP organised picket protests often involving two or three people. The ICP ran three candidates at the 2007 Irish general election; John Donnelly in Dublin North (286 votes, 0.52% of the votes cast), Ted Neville in Cork South Central (804, 1.36%) and Pat Talbot in Dublin Central (239, 0.69%). Nationally, the ICP received 0.064% of the total votes cast, about one vote for every 1,550 votes cast. [ [http://www.guthanphobail.net/dail-20070524.htm guthanphobail.net (in Irish)] ]
