Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Refugee and Migrant Crisis: Discussion (23 Sep 2015)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I apologise for not being here for all of the presentation and hope I do not go back over issues that have been covered. The refugee crisis stems from a complete lack of respect and disrespect for human rights in countries, whether Syria, Yemen or Eritrea. Unless we grapple with the human rights issues, then we will have another Syria and other situations will develop in the future. I...

Maureen O'Sullivan: We have heard powerful and challenging presentations both this morning and now. I have no doubt that they will continue in the next session.

Maureen O'Sullivan: It has been a long day. If I was to try to work out a common theme, I think it would be the need for justice and for people’s voices to be heard and listened to attentively.

The common denominator among all the witnesses here is that...
