Planned asylum seeker system overhaul is a ‘gamechanger’ for Ireland, McEntee says

Ms McEntee said that the policy was “an absolute gamechanger” under which the International Protection Act 2015 will be repealed

There will be a greater focus on efficient returns for unsuccessful applicants and accelerated processing for those from safe countries or those with no documents or false papers.Catholic Church’s downsizing only the beginning as attendances and incomes declineSpeaking on both Newstalk Breakfast and RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland, Ms McEntee said there was nothing in the new EU migration package that did not benefit Ireland.

“If we do not opt into this pact, the idea that we could tell other countries to take back those who have already protection in their countries, again, it’s absolutely ludicrous. We wouldn’t benefit from the financial assistance which we will benefit from when we join the pact, but also we’re going to have a greater ability to understand who is coming into our country.

With regard to Sinn Féin’s opposition to the pact, Ms McEntee said that Sinn Féin had opposed “every single good thing that has come out of Europe.” However, Sinn Féin’s spokesman on foreign affairs, Matt Carthy, said that it supported two of the measures, but opposed the other five.“Ireland has the option to remain outside all or some of the seven measures. We should utilise that option recognising that each member state is different and faces different pressures at any given time.

“We also support opting into the Eurodac Regulation because participation in this fingerprint database is necessary to conduct checks and vetting,” he said.
