Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2020: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2020-12-03
============================================================

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

For the purposes of this Bill, the only country I am proposing to designate is the UK. I note that the amendment refers to "changes to the list of safe third countries" and not changes within those countries. Therefore, it is specifically the list. Any new designation for a safe third country is required to be brought before the Houses and that is specified within this. Obviously for the purposes of this Bill, the only country I am proposing to designate is the UK and therefore it would not necessarily apply for this Bill. There is a requirement for a Minister designating a new country to bring it before the Houses.
