Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Deputy to stop interrupting. The agreement has been in place since 2020 and it sets out the procedure. It is an operational guide that is rooted in the following legislation of this country: the International Protection Act 2015 and Part 18 of the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Act 2020, which the Deputy may or may not have voted for. In the UK, the relevant pieces of legislation are Part 11 of the immigration rules and the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc.) Act 2004. Countries should honour agreements they sign up to and our country will honour ours.
