Immigration Bill, 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

I have no difficulty with Ireland taking what the NGOs have described as "our fair share of refugees." All I want to do is ensure our share is fair in every respect and it is refugees we are helping, not those who, by masquerading as asylum seekers, abuse the system and make things worse for those fleeing persecution. The exact details of resettlement arrangements will be agreed in discussions with the UNHCR.
