Ms Edel McGinley:

I want to pick up on Mr. Henderson's comment. This is a political pact. It is born out of the political crisis of 2015 in responding to people fleeing war and claiming safety on the territory of the EU. This rolls on and on. Politicians at European level want to be seen to be doing something and this an iteration of that. It tries to harmonise things on an unprecedented scale. The pact is very political. It is less about people and their rights and more about how the member states respond to this. It does not have people at its heart or its core and that is the fundamental problem with this.
