European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Mattie McGrath: Ar an gcéad dul síos, gabhaim buíochas le Brian Ó Domhnaill and Triona in my office and my colleagues for putting down this motion. On behalf of the Rural Independent Group, I make no apologies to anyone for putting this motion forward. The Minister mentioned that a number of debates have been held. I think three of them were forced by us, after months of begging. We...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Helen McEntee: I thank the Deputies for their contributions. With regard to a point made by the previous speaker, my understanding is that this is the third, if not fourth, debate on migration, specifically immigration and the pact, I have attended in the House in as many months. We had a three-hour debate in the committee last week and it is open to any Deputy at any time to raise the matter as a Topical...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Thomas Pringle: ...it is not for the reasons the Rural Independent Group outlined in the motion, so I will not support that motion. The Government will probably bring forward an amendment, which I will be happy not to support because I do not expect it to go anywhere near satisfying the concerns I have. I am disappointed at some of the language in this motion. It is purposely misleading. Language such...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Bríd Smith: Solidarity to the Minister for the threats and the disturbance she and her family have suffered this week. I also express my solidarity to Deputy Paul Murphy, who also this week received death threats from the same sources. I have read over the motion from the Rural Independent Group. It consists of nearly three pages about the migration pact and there is not a single mention of the...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I too express solidarity with the Minister and her family. There has been discussion in this House over the past few years about the coarsening of debate. We are seeing that going to another level now where we are seeing things falling into the criminal code. There is a real need for leadership right across the House on that. We need a well-managed asylum system, irrespective of the...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Sinn Féin believes that Ireland can better create a fair, efficient and enforced immigration system by exercising its rights to opt out of a majority of the EU pact's proposals. Sinn Féin opposed the migration and asylum pact for very good reasons. First, it undermines human rights. At the justice committee yesterday, several human rights organisations outlined a number of...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Martin Browne: I would have been happy to allow Deputy Conway-Walsh speak for another minute if she wanted. As has been said, the Government is taking the wrong path here. The majority of measures in the EU's migration and asylum pact are not in Ireland's interests. Through its determination to bind itself to every element of this pact, the Government believes it can distance itself from its own...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Richard O'Donoghue: People in this country are scared. They are scared about what the Government has done and about the lack of information available to them. This pact signs Ireland up to have almost 30,000 migrants coming into this country and if we do not accept these migrants, there is a clause that says it will cost €20,000 for each persons we do not accept. If we do not accept 30,000 migrants,...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

James Browne: I move amendment No. 1: To delete all words after "Dáil Eireann" and substitute the following: "notes that: - migration is a European challenge that requires a European response, which should include comprehensive policies in relation to both the internal and external dimensions of migration, with full and due respect for fundamental rights under European Union (EU) and...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Carol Nolan: I move: That Dáil Éireann: notes that: - Ireland requires a migration system that is not only well-managed and fair, but also stringent, efficient, and effectively enforced to safeguard our borders and our communities; - the Government imposing large-scale immigration on a local population without consultation is inappropriate, considering the complexity and potential...
