Cathal Berry told The Journal: 'We've seen this movie before, we know how it ends, it ends in an evacuation.'
AN INDEPENDENT TD has called for an emergency team to be established to evacuate Irish citizens from Sudan.
“Look at the humanitarian workers we have out there, the amount of diplomats and business people and their families as well. The Department has also advised all Irish citizens who have not already done so to “urgently register with the Embassy of Ireland in Kenya, which is accredited to Sudan” ‘We’ve seen this movie before’ However, Berry told The Journal that the Department should not wait for its EU neighbours to act.
He said it would also include “Defence Force personnel on the ground to provide medical support, transportation security, provide security indications back to Dublin, and to provide liaison to the other militaries.”“And you’re assembling the very best diplomats, the best pilots, best soldiers in the country into one team to produce the goods on a different continent under a stressful environment.”
