The European Union will hold an emergency video conference meeting of national ministers on Tuesday to discuss the mass migrant crossings into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta.

Ireland, which holds the rotating presidency of the EU, said on Saturday it had convened a meeting of the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council, chaired by Irish Justice, Home Affairs and Migration Minister Jim O'Callaghan, to discuss developments.
