Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration
General Scheme of the International Protection Bill 2025: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Liam Herrick:
All we can say is that the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights sets out standards for what an independent monitoring mechanism should be and in our view, what is proposed does not meet that standard. That was the standard that was meant to be put in place under the pact and we do not believe it meets that.
