Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

General Scheme of the International Protection Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Liam Herrick:

We do not have any more information on this than the Senator has. I would make the observation that Ireland is the only EU member state that is implementing the migration pact without already putting OPCAT in place. We are the only EU state that has not ratified that, so there is no independent monitoring mechanism for places of detention more generally.
