Ms Barbara Nolan:

As I said, it is top of the EU agenda. It is not just the Commission as the Heads of State and Government are also raising this in all the relevant fora. I am sure when Mrs. Merkel goes to the UN she will raise it too. This is the top issue. I agree with Deputy Keating we must have a global response. In the meantime, Europe has to put its own house in order, be united and show solidarity in the face of what is an unprecedented migratory flow. That is where we are at.
