Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions

Direct Provision: Discussion

5:15 pm

Ms Anne Mulhall:

Yes. The blame is laid at the feet of traffickers, but the only reason the system of clandestine travel and trafficking is in place is it is so difficult to get to Europe in the first place. People are desperate, for different reasons, to keep on living. They are fleeing terrible circumstances. These are among the reasons we say deportation has to end. That is our position. I wanted to state this in the light of what the last speaker said.
