Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Humanitarian Crisis in the Mediterranean: Médecins Sans Frontières

9:30 am

Mr. Alex Dunne:

We call on members of the committee to write in a formal capacity to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Coveney, and the Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy McEntee, to ask to be updated regularly on the representations Ireland is making at a European level on these issues. First and foremost, Ireland should push for a detailed analysis of the EU capacity building measures in Libya for good and bad, in other words, what is working and what is not. We need an honest assessment of how that procedure is working at the moment.

Mr. Taylor will address Deputy O'Sullivan's question about Libya and the process in respect of those being detained in Libya.
