Humanitarian Access
Dail Éireann — 2021-11-18
============================================================

Brendan Howlin (LAB), Wexford

It is perfectly understandable. The EU did not bring those people there. However it is disingenuous for the Minister to say that they are on the Belarusian side. They are standing looking at coils of barbed wire, yards away from the European Union. The Union cannot say that they are not ours and we have no responsibility there.
