Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Neil Bruton:

Hypothetically, one would be delighted to sign up to a really progressive asylum and migration pact, but that is not what this is. In light of that, we would rather stay and improve the current system. If a really progressive asylum migration pact was put forward, we might have a different position on it.
