Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Migrant Crisis: Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. Michael Kirrane:

As the Senator rightly said, the EU legal instrument provides for states which are taking people under relocation to consider security and we are in contact with our Garda colleagues with a view to Garda resources being assigned to work with our liaison officers in Italy and Greece to consider that specific issue. It is a matter for the Garda Síochána how it will go about that process and I cannot add anything further in respect of that.
