In respect of the refugees from Syria we have already taken twice what was recommended that we should take.<\/p>\n<p class=\"no_name\">\u201cIn respect of the new situation, these are people who are currently in <a class=\"search\" href=\"http:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/search\/search-7.1213540?tag_location=Greece&amp;article=true\">Greece<\/a> and <a class=\"search\" href=\"http:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/search\/search-7.1213540?tag_location=Italy&amp;article=true\">Italy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"crosshead\">\u2018Our tradition\u2019<\/h4>\n<p class=\"no_name\">\u201cBecause of our tradition and our understanding of this from our own history, we will consider of course taking numbers of people who are currently in Italy and Greece.<\/p>\n<p class=\"no_name\">\u201cThe Minister of Justice attended at the meeting in <a class=\"search\" href=\"http:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/search\/search-7.1213540?tag_location=Luxembourg&amp;article=true\">Luxembourg<\/a>yesterday and the protocol would have to be approved first of all and then we would have to get consent from the House of the Oireachtas.

The L\u00c9 Niamh will now replace that vessel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"no_name\">The decision to send the L\u00c9 Eithne was taken earlier this year in response to the huge numbers of migrants dying as they fled war and economic deprivation and attempted to make it to Europe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"no_name\">The EU plans to resettle 44,000 of those who made the risky sea crossing. It\u2019s estimated a further 1,850 drowned so far this year attempting to get to southern Europe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"no_name\">Of those rescued by the L\u00c9 Eithne, 12 per cent each came from <a class=\"search\" href=\"http:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/search\/search-7.1213540?tag_location=Eritrea&amp;article=true\">Eritrea<\/a> and <a class=\"search\" href=\"http:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/search\/search-7.1213540?tag_location=Nigeria&amp;article=true\">Nigeria<\/a>, 11 per cent from <a class=\"search\" href=\"http:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/search\/search-7.1213540?tag_location=Sudan&amp;article=true\">Sudan<\/a> and 9 per cent from Syria.<\/p>\n<p class=\"no_name\">Other nationalities included Moroccans, Somalis, Ghanaians and Ethiopians.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rescued migrants on board the L\u00c9 Eithne in the Mediterranean in June 2015.
