EU MIGRATION PACT IRELAND: Put Pressure on your TDs to demand that the government seek an EXEMPTION to RELOCATION PACT. Member States can obtain an exemption from the European Commission if they are “under migratory pressure”. Poland obtained an exemption: Why not Ireland? On 31 July 2024 the European Commission adopted the European Council's Decisions confirming Ireland's participation in 7 legislative acts under the EU Migration Pact. Ireland had formally notified the EU Commission on 27th June 2024 that it had adopted 7 measures on 26th June 2024 (Protocol 21 Opt In). Following the publication in the EU Official Publication the Asylum Procedure Regulation and the Reception Conditions Directive entered into force the very next day ( 1 August 2024). The remaining 5 instruments entered into force 20 days later. The government have got Ireland into this mess by voting to Opt In to the 7 measures under the EU Migration Pact and, in doing so, signed away our sovereignty and right to control our borders. One of the most controversial measures of the EU Migration Pact is the Relocation Pact, whereby Member States are legally obliged to take in a quota of asylum seekers from countries under migratory pressure (eg Spain, Greece and Italy etc) OR pay a sum per annum per asylum seeker (currently €20,000). There is, however, an EXEMPTION if a Member State can show they are facing "migratory pressure". The Polish government sought an exemption on basis of the large influx of Ukrainianians as well as the migration crisis it faces on the Belarusian border. WHY has the Irish government NOT sought an exemption?. Put pressure on your TD today to DEMAND the government seeks an exemption. Ireland is at crisis point with mass immigration, the highest levels of homelessness on record, an ever deeping housing crisis, the longest hospital waiting lists in Europe and the most overcrowded classrooms.

The Irish government had to actively opt us into the EU migration Pact, we were automatically opted out, once it kicks in, we will have to pay €20,000 for every migrant we refuse or can’t take in. Thank you Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, putting the EU above your own people’s needs, again!!
