Ms Helen Lowry:

That is a guesstimate, an approximate number. In our experience in the Migrant Rights Centre we believe this is probably the most relevant number. It is the figure that causes concern but it is a figure that is not so overwhelming that nothing can be done.

I thank Tatiana for speaking today because I know it is nerve-wracking to speak here. We are accompanied by young people and parents who are concerned about this issue. This is the first time in Leinster House for many of them.
