Facts and supposition
Sir, – Our Government seems keen to rush through our signing up to the proposed EU migration pact on the grounds that it will help solve our current international protection difficulties . However, it is remarkably coy on producing any statistics to back up their assertion.
Political opponents of the pact make great play of the loss of sovereignty and the fact that Denmark has opted out. This ignores the key fact that the Danes have sensibly never opted into any EU asylum processing legislation since 1992 and have a legal process that does not allow for judicial review of failed asylum claims .
I await the level of debate with interest given the entire body politic seems ill-equipped with actual facts. – Yours, etc,The last of the Dunnes: ‘Someone in a bar said, You are like the Kennedys.
