Mr. Michael Kirrane:

It is a difficult question in respect of the relative, limited capacity of Ireland in the overall scheme. While 4,000 is a big number, it is a very small one in the overall scale of what is being talked about. There are two programmes, one of which is resettlement. We work closely on the ground with the UNHCR which selects people from camps or on the borders, particularly in Lebanon, to come under a resettlement programme. It is a two-track approach, one to deal with our EU colleagues in respect of relocation and the other to deal and work with the UNHCR on taking people directly from the immediate circumference of war-torn Syria.
