EU Funding of Development Sector and its Role in International Development: Discussion
10:00 am
Ms Angela O'Neill:
Migration has been mentioned a few times this morning. If we tackle the symptoms of migration, we might be able to get to a better place, instead of worrying about how we are going to augment our borders and prevent them moving. People are only moving because they are desperate and have nothing in their own homes. We must continue to focus on the root causes of migration, rather than trying to keep them out. In addition, this will cost us much less in the long run.
