Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Undocumented Migrants: Immigration Control Platform

2:30 pm

Ms Áine Ní Chonaill:

We have said the opposite to what the Chairman has suggested. I am looking at the third line of our opening statement, which reads: "In today's Europe, that defence of the borders of the State is no longer against military attack, but against illegal immigration." We specifically state that they are not the same. I mean no disrespect when I say that it is for our organisation to set our agenda. We will not take direction from the committee as to what we will discuss. These are difficult things to have to say.
