They oppose the thing that's probably been most beneficial to the island of Ireland, not to mention the Republic of Ireland as a country, since we joined the European Union.

And what we believe, and what myself and Minister Callaghan clearly believe, and the government believe...

is that the best way of having a firm, fair and effective system to deal with migration is to do that in conjunction with our European partners.

So we could have, but we didn't.

No, we made that decision because we opted in.

Yes, we opted in.

We were quite clear on this.

The benefits vastly outweigh, and that is why we wanted to opt in, because for the reasons I've outlined, for the ability in supporting with our European to have that initial point of entry, to have that automatic right of return option

As usual, give false information.

What we actually did, Matt, just let me answer you.

Our position is protecting Irish neutrality, rejecting racism, but having a managed migration system.

There's no left or right.
