Explaining the EU Migration Pact, with Paul Hosford

The EU migration pact comes in to force today after a week of
anti-immigrant riots in Belfast and amid rampant mis and
disinformation on social media.


On this episode Deputy Political Editor Paul Hosford debunks some
of the myths around the pact explaining what the pact is, what it
means for Ireland and how much it will cost.


This episode covers changes to the asylum process, a hardening of
Government policy towards asylum seekers, and the controversy
around ‘return hubs’ which would see people sent to third
countries with concerning records on human rights like Rwanda and
Libya.
