Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Migrant Crisis: Discussion
10:00 am
Mr. Michael Kirrane:
Under the task force that has been established, the Minister for Justice and Equality has chaired the first of its meetings and several subgroups have been established, one of which deals specifically with integration and working with the NGOs. Without pre-empting the outcome of the work of that subgroup, I anticipate that it will engage in a formal way with the NGOs and with religious bodies that have made offers and pledges of support. The intention is to harness those in a structured manner to be able to respond as efficiently as possible.
