Undocumented Migrants Living in Ireland: Migrant Rights Centre Ireland
2:30 pm
Ms Edel McGinley:
We do and we do not. We do outreach to certain places around the country, such as Galway and Cork. We did it in Gort in the past because it had a very high undocumented population. We engage with many different organisations around the country. In Meath and other places, we might hold information sessions for people. However, we engage a great deal with the citizens information network and we provide a support service to that network and to the Citizens Information Board, CIB, so if there are queries locally we support those queries. We do not have to be in every location because there are already people in those locations and we support their work. We also work closely with community sector organisations which might also be on the ground to engage vulnerable migrants and to work with those migrants.
