Ireland must play its part and take in people, including unaccompanied children, who have been left homeless after fires destroyed a refugee camp on a Greek island, immigrant groups have said.

It follows reports that Germany and France have pledged that the EU would take in 400 unaccompanied minors from the burnt-out Moria refugee camp on Lesbos.
