It comes as an emergency meeting of EU Justice Ministers is called to deal with the latest tragedy in the Mediterranean – which saw 950 people die off the Libyan coast at the weekend.
Frances Fitzgerald is en route to Luxembourg for the gathering.
Médecins Sans Frontières meanwhile is launching a new search and rescue operation in light of the recent deaths.
Meanwhile, it's reported that the International Organisation for Migration has received a distress call from a sinking boat in the Mediterranean carrying more than 300 people – with at least 20 people reported dead.
It's one of three boats floating near each other in international waters.
