Ireland just needs investment in the IPO and in the international protection system in general to speed up asylum claims. The pact is irrelevant to this. Political will is lacking.

This bill will have massive implications for Ireland. 3 weeks ago the High Court ruled that the UK was not a safe country to return asylum seekers to. This bill will ensure that the High Court ruling will not be overturned in the Supreme Court.
