What impact has climate change had on countries with which Ms Sharkey works through Trócaire? I ask her to describe the situation that faces the people in those countries where they are forced to migrate.

Given the type of migration we are witnessing at the moment across the Mediterranean Sea, we need to ask if climate change is contributing to that, as well as to economic issues and wars. In her experience with Trócaire, what is Ms Sharkey's view of what is happening in that regard? Does she believe migration is related to climate change?
