Ireland’s Rapid Response Corps should have been deployed to Turkey, says Barry Andrews. The Fianna Fáil MEP was previously chief exec of aid charity GOAL. In a speech last night in the European Parliament, he said 28 of the charity’s staff had been killed in last week’s earthquakes. Speaking this morning, Barry Andrews criticised the government for not sending a humanitarian team to Turkey and Syria as other European countries have done. He says Irish defence is underfunded and risk-averse.
