Migration crisis hot topic for EU leaders summit

The migration crisis is topping the agenda of the EU leaders summit.

The EU is proposing aid of €6bn to Turkey, which is trying to deal with a massive volume of refugees, on certain conditions.

These include the "one-for-one" plan, under which Turkey no longer facilitates illegal immigrants to reach the Greek Islands.

For every migrant turned back, the EU will accept a properly documented asylum-seeker from Turkey.

Sean Kelly MEP is hopeful of agreement: “It’s legal rather than illegal.

“It’s regular rather than irregular, it is safe rather than dangerous.

“And I am quite sure on the March 17, St Patrick’s Day, who he himself was a migrant, coming from Wales to Ireland.

“He might inspire the leaders on that day to come up with a good solution.”
