Ireland has to do more on refugee crisis – Hayes

Ireland needs to play a much bigger role in sharing responsibility for refugees fleeing countries in crisis. That’s the view of the Fine Gael MEP Brian Hayes who was speaking today in the European Parliament.  The European Commission wants all EU states to share the burden of housing thousands of refugees fleeing to Europe from across the Mediterranean. However, Mr Hayes says he understands the government is opposed to proposed EU plans for a quota system. And he says Ireland’s record on looking after refugees is not good.

Out words: by that
