Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Robert Troy: I thank the Chair for allowing me to ask a question at the committee here today.

I am conscious that I am curtailed by the...

If we are talking about 30,000 seeking asylum across the EU, how would that figure be realistic considering that 13,000 came into Ireland last year? I have one final question. The Minister said that investing in...
