Ms Edel McGinley:

We are meeting the Minister for Justice and Equality next Monday, so that is a very welcome development. We have been trying to meet her for some time.

In terms of engaging with the Department of Justice and Equality in the past and the civil servant end of it, we have a good working relationship because we would have campaigned for the introduction of what was the undocumented workers scheme. That responded to people who had fallen out of the system through no fault of their own. That was a very welcome development, but there is resistance from within the Civil Service regarding the implementation of something like that. I cannot pretend there is not, and political will is needed to drive it forward. That is where we need to get to because there are some blocks within the Civil Service to advancing that.
