Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Migrant Crisis: Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. David Costello:

On the Senator's point about minorities, it will be for the Italian and Greek authorities to make the decisions but the EU decision does provide for issues such as "family, social or cultural ties which could facilitate their integration into the member state of relocation". I am reading from the preamble. It does allow that to be taken into account, but at the end of the day it will be for the Italians and the Greeks to select the cases, working with the states concerned.
