Ms Helen Lowry:

Our research was carried out throughout Ireland through our members and people involved in the campaign, so a lot of it was in the greater Dublin area, but also it was through word of mouth and through communities, which is a great way of getting the word out. For example, Mr. Montenegro has many friends and colleagues in Cork, so it was all-Ireland research. I do not have the breakdown but it was predominately the greater Dublin area.

We know well from our drop-in centre and because between one third and a half of the people coming through our doors each year are undocumented that they are living and working in towns throughout the country. We have people coming up from Mayo to get advice and information. We handle a great number of phone calls. We believe it is not just an urban phenomenon. I have received many calls from my home town of Ballina in County Mayo because people know I work with the Migrant Rights Centre.

They work on everything from hotel and catering to community development work but are undocumented and looking for advice. It is definitely not a phenomenon from a big city. Did the Deputy want a breakdown of the figures?
