Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris has said he is “reassured” over proposed Irish legislation on returning asylum seekers from Ireland to the UK.
Justice Minister Helen McEntee is to bring a proposal to Cabinet on Tuesday around “returning” asylum seekers who had arrived in Ireland from the UK.
Ireland’s deputy premier Micheal Martin said he had briefed British officials at the British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference in London on Monday.
He moved to assure them that the legislation would deal with the repercussions of a decision by Ireland’s High Court, which found that the basis for designating the UK a “safe country” for asylum purposes was contrary to EU law.
Mr Martin said that the decision related to an agreement on “returning” asylum seekers to the UK - and vice versa - that was struck between the two governments after Brexit.
Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by presenter Alex Phillips to discuss.
