Migrant Crisis: Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. Michael Kirrane:

For each person relocated under the scheme there is a once-off payment of €6,000 from the European Commission. In addition, the member states the people are coming from, namely, Greece and Italy, get a once-off payment of €500 to deal with the transportation of people to the relevant member state.
