"I wish to raise also the discovery of eight people dead in a container of furniture in County Wexford over the weekend. The dead included a four-year old boy, a ten-year old girl and a sixteen-year old boy. There were three adults found dead also – two men and a woman – and there are five survivors. It appears that, so far as we understand it, about 11 of these people came from Turkey, one from Albania and one from Algeria.
It seems to me quite appalling that we have a situation in Europe where people are so desperate that they have to put themselves into the hands of criminals in order to try and find a new life in Europe. We have done something serious about dealing with the criminals on the one hand and with our approach to immigration on the other. We cannot continue to allow the situation where people are so desperate that they will do anything and even put themselves and their children at risk in order to find a new life.
I would ask those in this House who are supporting Mr Berlusconi in opposing the European arrest warrant to ask themselves why are they supporting a situation where the criminals who put these people into this container will escape the justice which needs to be meted out to them? Could I also ask, Madam President..."@en1
