Ms Edel McGinley:

I wish to add some information. Two European studies carried out in recent years point to this number. These studies were both commissioned by the European Commission and they have pointed to a figure of approximately 30,000. Our figures and those reported by the European Commission show a correlation. I refer to the CLANDESTINO project report which states the number at between 30,000 and 60,000, so we are at the lower end of that spectrum but we believe that the numbers are in the region we have stated and that information is supported by these two European projects.
