IRELAND: The European Asylum Pact will have serious consequences on Constitutional law and democracy
VERY Important. Please Watch & Share.
The European Asylum Pact will have serious consequences on Constitutional law and democracy:
The Government are trampling over the three hallmarks of a democracy: openness, transparency and accountability. We CANNOT trust them to protect and safeguard the interests of the Irish people and must push for a Referendum. There is NO justifiable or rational reason why Ireland would opt-in to the EU Migration and Asylum Pact when it is NOT required by virtue of our EU Membership. The Asylum Migration Management Regulation will override our National Sovereignty by giving power to the EU Commission to dictate how many relocated asylum seeker applicants we must receive, in addition to the already massive influx of immigrants into our country.
WHY would Ireland opt-in to the EU Migration and Asylum Pact, which will require us to receive relocated quotas of asylum seeker applicants in ADDITION to the already massive influx of International Protection applicants entering our country, when we have NO legal obligation to to do?
There are 5 legislative files that constitute the Pact. The Asylum Management and Migration Regulation (AMMR) enshrines the principles of "of solidarity and fair sharing of responsibility, including its financial implications, between the Member State" at Art. 80 of the Treaty of the Functioning of Europe (TFEU), pursuant to Art. 77 - 79. This Regulation gives power to the EU Commission to determine how many relocated asylum seeker applicants Ireland MUST receive, in addition to the already massive influx into our country. The minimum number of EU relocated asylum seekers has been set at 30,000 and the minimum financial contribution has been set at €20,000 per asylum seeker per annum but this could substantially increase if the EU Commission determine that there is a significant rise in asylum seeker applicants in countries under "migratory pressure". A case in point is the EU emergency relocation programme under Art. 80 of the TFEU, pursuant to Art. 77-79, to relocate 160,000 asylum seekers from Italy and Greece to other EU countries over a two year period. Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic refused to comply and infringement proceedings were brought under Art. 80 of the TFEU by the EU Commissioner. The Court of Justice of the European Union's judgement, delivered on 2 April 2020, upheld the infringements proceedings on the basis that by refusing to comply with the temporary mechanism for relocation, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic failed to fulfil their obligations under EU law. It is noteworthy that the court held that Member States could NOT rely on maintenance of law and order or safeguarding of internal security to avoid implementing the mechanism.
There is no rational or justifiable reason why Ireland would opt-in to the EU Migration and Asylum Pact provisions that will place our country and people at even further risk. The corrupt political establishment do NOT serve the interests of the Irish people but instead
