There should be no quota. A country should not be expected to take in migrants at all, especially if their country is already suffering from a housing and economic crisis.

 @9ZRQCDHIndependentanswered…9mos9MO

The EU should not dictate a sovereign state’s stance on immigration, it should be down to the Irish state

 @9NLW7CXAontúanswered…1yr1Y

No, people should be able to direct a portion of their taxes toward immigrants who cannot sustain themselves. Quotas need to be based on these numbers.

 @B5G8RW6answered…3mos3MO

Yes, but calculations and statistics should be used to spread out the amount of migrants in member states (eg, France is one of the largest and most developed states, and should take in more, while Hungary is one of the smallest and least developed states, and should take in less

 @9ZJTYHPanswered…9mos9MO

Not when the country is already experiencing a housing crisis and cannot house our own citizens not to mind immigrants. It is unfair for everyone

 @9ZLGRDHanswered…9mos9MO

No migrants in Ireland unless they decide to move here buy a house and contribute to society like the rest of us

 @9ZK9S5Xanswered…9mos9MO

There should be the appropriate infrastructure in place and how many accepted should align with this

 @9ZDVR4Yanswered…9mos9MO

I think there should be encouragement to take on migrants, and programs to help the process and help them integrate, but I am unsure if a quota is necessarily a good idea

 @9ZDH27Zanswered…9mos9MO

I think as long as the right back up checks regarding the persons mental health, Crime and terrorism is checked and all is clear they should be allowed come.

 @9Z9YN82answered…10mos10MO

Countries within the EU should be able to choose the amount of migrants they allow into their own countries

 @9H7CKHYSocial Democratsanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but it should be based off the percentage of the population to ensure every EU country houses their fair share

 @9G7YBQ6Sinn Féinanswered…2yrs2Y

Even though I believe in Ireland taking in its fare share of migrants I believe the EU should be dispanded

 @9D7PQPCLabouranswered…2yrs2Y

Everyone should be allowed to come in. For Gods' sake did we not learn anything from the world wars?

 @9ZJDJBGSinn Féinanswered…9mos9MO

The EU should have no say in each countries immigration policies, especially if those policies are damaging each country

 @9ZGQ3FGFine Gaelanswered…9mos9MO

Yes but it has to be realistic. The EU is almost fully saturated with migrants and the EU needs to accept that there is a point where all countries can no longer take anymore migrants, where financially, taking on more migrants will be detrimental to our own citizens

 @9ZCGZYZSocial Democrats answered…10mos10MO

Different countries have different capacities on the number of migrants they can take. It's not a one size fits all and shouldn't be treated as such

 @9MMLSJNanswered…1yr1Y

Each country should be able to take in as many as they can accommodate with proper accommodations to ensure dignity for these people

 @9ZGSPPYanswered…9mos9MO

Yes, we barley have enough housing, money, land to build or own things without 10,000 more people coming from abroad. Our children and family's deserve good things too.

 @9YKQCFZanswered…10mos10MO

Housing and welfare should be taken into account to ensure both migrants and residents are adequately cared for.

 @9JD7NJCanswered…2yrs2Y

Ireland and Denmark have an opt out under the Lisbon treaty and should use it to refuse ukranians and asylum seekers who are flying in from safe countries .

 @9MWSQMXanswered…1yr1Y

No, it should be up to individual governments to decide on the quota that is acceptable for their own country

 @9MQZN53answered…1yr1Y

Yes, every EU country should have to take a minimum number of asylum seekers and refugees with no upper limit

 @9SWMJY6Independentanswered…12mos12MO

I disagree with the EU holding control over a sovereign nation's border and immigration policies outside of EU members

 @9SZSJTTanswered…12mos12MO

Migrants should be able to come at any time, however the government should be able to process them efficently

 @8H4GD78answered…5yrs5Y

According to the law in each country Eu would not be impose a quota of migrants per country

 @8C5RDBVanswered…5yrs5Y

No, Ireland should retain sovereignty over it's own immigration laws and introduce a points based system with deportations for law breakers, illegals even those who are first generation regardless of how long they've been here and those who overstay their visa.

 @beauchurleySocial Democratsanswered…4yrs4Y

No, but they should more or less be spread proportionately to host country population.

 @8R5LX4Tanswered…4yrs4Y

 @93TSBPPanswered…3yrs3Y

 @9342NP9answered…3yrs3Y

No, however, every country within the EU should be required to share the burden of housing and caring for refugees. Countries within the EU should not be able to decline them when other EU countries are allowing them.

 @8YYYXXKIndependentanswered…4yrs4Y

Each EU member state has a responsibility to take Migrants as a result of several on going events in the Middle East, Sahel, etc., though a model would be needed to evenly distribute these individuals. Some examples would be a nations current economy, the state of their housing, their ability to integrate migrants successfully, etc., etc.

 @9C8RJDKanswered…2yrs2Y

 @99V72GYanswered…2yrs2Y

Percentage of government alone is incorrect which it does to dies and end the rules when the gives ok with New Zealand and Australia Indian include hard sri Lanka attack budget

 @99MFYPQanswered…2yrs2Y

 @97TZBRDanswered…3yrs3Y

No, Doing so would be destructive to the EU and potentially lead to it disbanding.

 @96Z6WV7answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but this quota needs to be balanced and high enough to welcome everyone

 @96JBVHRanswered…3yrs3Y

No, but it should give funding to countries based on migrant numbers taken in.

 @95H54K8Sinn Féinanswered…3yrs3Y

Depends on the size of the country and the state the housing market is in.

 @95CMVJ6Sinn Féinanswered…3yrs3Y

Depending on the which country it is , how rich it is, if it can house them, if it is safe for them.

 @9236D2Lanswered…3yrs3Y

Depending on how the country treats their own people - in the case of Ireland, its citizens are treated poorly. Those who are seeking a better life should not be subjected to living within direct provision for more than 8 years which is the case for some in Ireland.

 @8ZJZT7KSinn Féinanswered…3yrs3Y

I believe no in general but in some situations if a country barely has the resources to allow it’s own nationals to obtain their basic needs then there should be some form of quota .

 @8ZDQF7Danswered…3yrs3Y

This is an issue of sovereignty and it should be left to individual states

 @8ZCCDS9Greenanswered…3yrs3Y

Under rare and extreme circumstances, quotas of migrants per country should be abolished

 @98M8BPFanswered…3yrs3Y

That needs to be under review because we need to reform this sector because we cannot have mass migrant crises & yes we do need migrants but it needs to be limited & legal or we don't do this at all

 @98DVDTWanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but it should be adjusted accordingly to how many migrants need a safe home

 @989GK7Fanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes but they should prove they are coming to work and add value to the community

 @8TJ39J4answered…4yrs4Y

There should be a minimum quota to make sure all countries are helping out as much as possible but it should be encouraged to accept more than the quota.

 @8S8KVGKanswered…4yrs4Y

 @8J2LNT2answered…5yrs5Y

that needs to be debated & reviewed because all of those countries & their laws
