"Madam President, the humanitarian crisis at Europe’s borders is mainly of Europe’s making. Obscene and needless military intervention in the Middle East and North Africa have ignited conflicts in the region, displacing millions. Whilst the vast majority of these people seek refuge in neighbouring nations, some seek to join their families and relocate to Europe.
The failure of the Council meeting on migration to provide safe and legal access for refugees fleeing the harrowing impacts of conflicts is absolutely shameful. We need to ensure that all countries do their fair share in resolving this crisis. Ireland, as a nation, can accept thousands of refugees. We must ensure that these people become part of the fabric of our society and are not discarded in direct provision sites. We must activate the Temporary Protection Directive, enhance the Syria Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme, and suspend the Dublin Regulation, which forces refugees and asylum seekers to register in the country they land in.
The European focus on keeping them out rather than keeping them safe has resulted in in the drowning of thousands of people in the Mediterranean. This crisis is Europe’s sinking shame, and the so-called leaders of the EU Council on migration should hang their heads in shame."@en1
