In respect of the resettlement, relocation and family reunification programme, would it be envisaged that Kurds or Syrians living in Ireland would request that their families who live in dire situations be given some priority because they already live and work here, have set up their own businesses, and it would not cost the Exchequer much provided that these families qualify as coming, for example, from the conflict in Syria? Already many Kurds and Syrians living here are making requests. This could be part of the strategy too.
