Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

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

Mr. Neil Bruton:

Just to say, the news article stated the gardaí will be taken from registrations, which is something over which we would have big concerns because that area is already extremely stretched. We would certainly have deep concerns over taking 100 staff from that function and putting them into the very costly, and what we would see as ineffective, task of trying to enforce deportations, and over the impact that will have on other people who are moving to the country, for a lot of different reasons, and their ability to register, work and study.
