Scam UK agency sending migrants with promise of work to International Protection Office address in Dublin

A scam agency is sending to foreign students from London to Ireland on a promise of permanent work - but the employer address provided turns out to the International Protection Office (IPO) building in Mount Street. That was the claim made in the Dáil today by Independent TD and European elections candidate Michael McNamara, who told of an Indian national who travelled to London on a student visa that allowed him to work ten hours a week. He wanted to work longer and consulted an agency which told him he could have full employment in Ireland. It charged him £1,500 for the service, and retained his passport so that he would pay an additional £1,000 when he started work.
