Irish Minister for Migration Jim O'Callaghan is participating in a high-level meeting in Munich to discuss border security and asylum policies. Hosted by German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, the summit gathers various EU officials, including Commissioner Magnus Brunner and UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood. The agenda focuses on the implementation of the EU Migration and Asylum Pact, enhancing the return of individuals without legal residency, and fortifying external borders. O'Callaghan, who advocates for Ireland's participation in external return hubs, emphasized the need for continued vigilance despite a decline in irregular arrivals. These discussions serve as preparation for the upcoming Justice and Home Affairs Council, where O'Callaghan plans to introduce strategies for improving readmission rates and managing sudden migratory surges, a topic that gained urgency following recent events in Ceuta.
