I understand the point Mr. Burgess makes but there are 65 million people displaced. At some stage, there needs to be a recognition at Government level that we cannot go on without looking at what is causing this in the first place and our role and the EU's role in that in terms of policy. We have policies that are leading to the lack of stability yet we are struggling to bring a little assistance and aid.
