Helen McEntee plans to opt us into the new EU pact on asylum and migration. You can read the details of the pact here but what any of it means for Ireland in practical terms is unclear and it's likely full of exploitable loopholes. Take this line: >When an applicant is in the possession of a diploma (which is not older than 6 years) of an EU member state education establishment, that member state will be responsible for examining the application for international protection. Does mean we'll see start seeing online Irish diploma mills catering to Nigerian asylum swindlers. Who knows... Euronews says one major problem which the pact does not address is that the EU has struggled to convince countries of origin to take back rejected asylum seekers. If they were in anyway serious, that would have been prioritised decades ago. But none of this is getting solved until they start leasing lands outside Europe and sending them all there as suggested by Jason O'Mahony in the London Times. 👉🏻join Late Stage Ireland
