International Protection Bill 2026: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2026-03-18
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

My apologies but I do need clarity. Previously, a number of sections came through. We opted into, I think, four out of five or three out of four. I am trying to recall it at a certain point. There was one that we did not opt into. Is the Minister saying we did opt into that one, which allows for a person to be deported to a third safe country?
