44. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the French Government has pledged to demolish the refugee camp in Calais; and if her Department is aware that the camp is home to over 10,000 persons, including over 1,000 unaccompanied minors, and that hundreds of unaccompanied minors have already gone missing in Europe due to the refugee crisis; and if she has discussed or plans to discuss the matter with her French counterpart.

I refer the Deputy to my responses to Parliamentary Questions No. 78 of 4 October 2016, and No. 76 of 5 October 2016 in which I set out the position on unaccompanied minors in Calais. I also note from recent statements that the French Government is actively seeking alternative accommodation within France for all those in Calais.
