I ask the Minister for his views, and those of the Government, on the EU-Turkey migration deal in light of the fact that Médecins sans Frontières has decided it will no longer accept funds from European member states due to its opposition to the deal. There has been criticism also from Trócaire, Oxfam and others about the operation of the EU-Turkey migration deal. Furthermore, is the Minister satisfied that the money the Government has committed on behalf of the Irish taxpayer towards this deal is not being spent on the strengthening of borders and security but is being spent in the interests of those seeking refuge?
