McEntee and Humphreys discuss plans to control migration

The video discusses a review initiated to address irregular migration by increasing fines for airlines from €3000 to €5000 for each case of improper documentation. The government emphasizes the importance of enforcing legal documentation requirements for entry into the country. Measures include staff training, doorstop operations, and liaison officers to reduce false documentation cases.
