Sutherland calls for EU Commissioner for Migration

Former EU commissioner Peter Sutherland has called for a Commissioner for Migration.

He points out there is much disinformation regarding the number of non-EU citizens living in Europe.

Mr Sutherland blames the inaccurate information  as a significant reason for the rise of right wing political parties.

Ireland's non-EU population is approximately 3.4 per cent.
