Amendment No. 26 replaces section 22 of the Refugee Act, the section that enables the imple mentation of the Dublin Convention. The replacement provision will not only facilitate the operation of the Dublin Convention and the agreement extending its operation to Norway and Iceland but also any future agreements which Ireland may enter into with other safe countries of transit – possible other examples might be Switzerland and Canada – for the return of asylum seekers where the two countries agree to accept asylum seekers who have arrived from the other country. This is an important process. It is a safe third countries process. It will also enable the necessary domestic law provisions to be put in place to cater for the coming into effect next September of the Council regulation which is to replace the Dublin Convention.
