He clearly conveyed the immediacy and reality of what is happening and that 10,000 refugees are crossing the border into Slovakia daily. It says much about the humanity of Slovakian, Polish and Irish people that we are willing to take in so many refugees amidst all this horror. If just one positive thing has...

The impact of sanctions in this area would be very powerful but it would also hit the European...

Marian Harkin: The Taoiseach is right that there has been an increase in funding and services. I welcome that and I stated that but those services are delivered by staff; by the workers who man those services. The Taoiseach said himself that this has been the way since it started but I would put it to him that it is time to change or at least review that. The average salary in these organisations is...
