Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

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

Mr. Neil Bruton:

I want to make a quick comment in relation to the first point about extending the screening to people in-country. MRCI would have deep concerns around that and the ethnic profiling, apprehension, detention and denial of due process that currently exists for people who are found to be in-country who are undocumented or otherwise.
