I was in fact being critical of the Dublin agreement being a waste of paper.
As usual, the dialogue becomes akin to drawing teeth. The fact remains, Reggie, that however unpalatable you seem to find the fact, we were returning failed asylum seekers under the Dublin Agreement, now we are not.
As for the Home Office's assertion that Dublin would be superceded by bi-lateral agreements with individual countries, that has proved to be the claptrap most realistic commentators knew it would be.
In other words, yet another predictable and predicted example of how we are faring less well being out of the EU.
