Ms Helen Lowry:

I would like to say again on behalf of the justice for the undocumented campaign and the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland that we are really happy to be here today. We also appreciate the time taken by the clerks of the committee, who have been very good to us. It is a big day out for us; people have taken time off work just to be in the Visitors Gallery. We are working very hard around St. Patrick's Day and for the rest of this year to have momentum on this issue. Some very insightful questions were asked about why this has not gotten further around the St. Patrick's Day period and that is why we are here today. We are hoping there will be political will behind this now. The solutions are quite pragmatic.
