I agree. I think Ireland is a very welcoming place. Let us hope it stays that way. When you drill down into this pact, you see a semblance of, for want of a better word, internment of adults and sometimes children. Human rights advocates are saying that migration is being weaponised by those who want to malign migrants coming to the EU. This is a bad day for human rights, particularly in the European sense. This is a dangerous crossroads in terms of the rights of everybody in the EU. The basic pillar of the EU back in the 1950s was the rights of everybody regardless of where you come from and the colour of your skin but this pact is a backwards step in terms of human rights for everybody who wants to come to the EU to work.
