EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Enda O'Neill:

No, but the GDP will be taken into account in the allocation. There are also other considerations. In Ireland's example, we would generally see a degree of secondary movement from other countries, and there are responsibility offsets. If the Irish Government were to say we already had 3,000 people who had arrived in a year from Greece, instead of us sending them back under the AMMR, we could allow them to stay and that would be offset against the responsibility mechanism.
