I second the proposal to write to the Minister. The delegation should bring this issue to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children because this is a health issue as well as an education issue.

Last year, I met a lovely doctor from Bahrain. Her name escapes me but she could not return home simply because she had given medical attention to a protester and feared for her life. Her children live in Bahrain but she could not return to see them. She lived in Ireland for quite some time before she could return home safely. It would do no harm if the delegation brought the matter to the health committee regarding the health issues over there at present. I second the proposal to write to the Minister for Education and Skills.
