Undocumented Migrants Living in Ireland: Migrant Rights Centre Ireland

2:30 pm

Ms Edel McGinley:

We are the only organisation working on this issue. We work with the trade unions and others who are very supportive of it. We have more than 40 organisations in support of this proposal.

There is no research on it in the Irish context. The Senator would have to look to European experts and bringing in organisations at a European level, although there would not be a large number of interest groups to invite. There are groups which are interested in and support this area of work, but we do the bulk of the work in terms of supporting undocumented migrants in Ireland.
