Govt urged to take in 200 unaccompanied migrant children, but it may not be legally possible

The Government will be urged to immediately take in up to 200 unaccompanied migrant children living in the notorious 'Jungle' in Calais in a cross-party opposition motion set to be put before the Dáil next week, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith of the Irish Examiner.

However, despite the fact the motion will be passed by the Dáil, the minority Government could still reject the potential move as the fact the infamous site is not an official EU resettlement camp means it may not be legally possible to act.
