About this episode
The episode discusses the criticisms of the EU Migration Pact and its implications for refugees.
The EU Migration Pact comes into force today, two years after it was adopted by member states and the European Parliament. The pact has received much criticism from refugee organisations, who said its legal safeguards for those seeking protection are not sufficient. Joining Shane to discuss this is Nick Henderson, CEO of The Irish Refugee Council.
