The existence of an ‘operational arrangement’ at the centre of the UK-Ireland diplomatic row has been acknowledged by both sides.
The Irish Department of Justice has refused to publish an operational arrangement which it says provides for returning asylum seekers to the UK.
Irish premier Simon Harris said on Sunday that Ireland will not “provide a loophole” for other countries’ migration “challenges”, while Mr Sunak said it was “not interested” in any returns deal if the EU does not allow the UK to deport asylum seekers who had crossed the English Channel to France. “My understanding is no asylum seekers have ever been returned to the UK under these existing arrangements. And as the Prime Minister set out yesterday, we’re not going to accept returns from the EU via Ireland at a time when the EU doesn’t accept returns back to France.”
Downing Street brushed off rumours on Friday that the prime minister could start an election campaign next week.On Tuesday, the Irish Government approved emergency legislation from the Minister of Justice Helen McEntee to allow the UK to be designated as a safe country to enable asylum seekers to be transferred back there.
“The legislative changes that I will bring to the Houses in the coming weeks will ensure that the arrangement can be operationalised.”Credit: Niall Carson/PA “Scrambling around to turn hotels, B&Bs, office blocks into Direct Provision centres or having tents line the length of Mount Street in Dublin are not the hallmarks of a well-managed system.”
“As you know, better than most I would imagine, that is a really important Common Travel Area,” Mr Harris added. “I’m very clear that those operational agreements are in place under the Common Travel Area. And I’m very clear that we’re going to legislate to have absolute clarity so that it can work. But I’m also really clear that it’s only one of a number of things we need to do.”Welsh Labour members vote to expand Senedd to 96 members
