Mathews talks about the censorship and outrage in Ireland. The tradition of opposition to the church from the left which existed in France never emerged in Ireland. There was hardly 'the left' in Ireland at all. Almost everybody involved in the Irish revolution from 1912 to 1923, no matter how violent, uncompromising or fanatical, was a pious, mass-going Catholic. The emergence of an independent Ireland reflected their beliefs. Under pressure from the church, the gloriously named Committee on Evil Literature was set up in the early years of the Free State to censor dangerous books and newspapers. The censorship board lasted until 1967, but its legacy of intolerance lived on. Adapted from the source document.

Some of these processes increased the number of undocumented and unauthorized immigrants in certain countries. These processes also lead to enormous personal sacrifices and hardships for families across the world. My personal experiences are probably not the worst case due to my educational and professional background, although there were few bumps in the road. Some of the following notes, I hope, will shed light on the personal experiences dealing with immigration law and processes.
