Yesterday, a majority of MEPs voted to support the EU migration pact. There was also opposition to the pact, and in the European Parliament some of the commentary on the pact is that it is regressive in terms of human rights, xenophobic and reactionary in not upholding the right to seek asylum in the EU. Does the Tánaiste believe signing up to this pact is the right course of action for Ireland in trying to demonise people fleeing war and persecution?
