The economic partnership agreements, EPAs, are leading to food insecurity and conflict, which is forcing people to migrate from Africa to Europe. The EPAs are pouring petrol on the migration flame. I thank the Taoiseach for his earlier commitment to have a short debate on No. 17 on the Order Paper. Will all groups in the House have an opportunity to contribute to the debate? Can we have a broader debate on the impact the EPAs are having on migration across Africa into Europe?

There is no reason the committee that deals with the issue could not have a reasonably lengthy debate on a broad range of issues. I would like to think that we could have a suitably arranged debate here. There are many groups in the House and if we were to give them all lengthy opportunities, it could go on for a very long time. As I said, we will debate it when it comes back and we will see who we can facilitate or who is interested. The Deputy's point about migration from Africa is part of the discussions taking place in Valletta today. It is a set-piece arrangement. The camps in the Horn of Africa are in a horrendous state and Ireland has had an interest in the matter for many years from a humanitarian perspective. We will try to facilitate it on the committee, and the group discussion can take place when it comes back.
