General Scheme of the International Protection Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Tracy O'Keeffe:

Any provision in the Bill relating to detention will be in full compliance with the requirements of the pact measures, in particular the reception conditions directive. While some of the measures of the pact envisage the detention of children in certain circumstances, in operational reality, that is not expected to be something that will happen, except in the absolute rarest of circumstances.
