I will conclude on this point. Those people about whom we are speaking, in the context of the removal of people from Greece and their return to Turkey, will be taken by force. These people, of whom there are approximately 46,000, will not go gently into the night; they did not cross the seas, risking life and limb and spending all of their money, and sit on the Macedonian border for months, only to agree to be returned to Turkey. There will be violence and state terrorism. This is already happening. If we stand over it, shame on Ireland. On the anniversary of the Easter Rising, shame on Ireland for voting for this agreement. I ask that the Taoiseach return to the European Council and withdraw Ireland's support for this outrageous agreement.
