Merkel is right — we’re not doing enough to help ease refugee crisis

Boy, didn’t we get huffy last week when Angela Merkel told us we weren’t doing enough to help in the refugee crisis, writes Fergus Finlay. 

Angela Merkel, of all people. Who does she think she is? Doesn’t she know we’ve sent brave and resourceful members of the Defence Forces to the Mediterranean to rescue all those migrants and refugees?

Doesn’t she know we have all sorts of crises here at home – and that she and her austerity policies helped to cause them in the first place? Doesn’t she know that we can’t possibly do more? And why should we anyway?
