I am a Deputy for Fianna Fáil. I thank the deputation for the presentation. We are going to produce a report on foot of the evidence and hearings today. That report needs to be relatively specific. We must be aware of what we are seeking if we call upon the Government to do something.
I have a query about the first request of the Government from NASC. Page 3 of the NASC document refers to how the organisation wants the Government to introduce a humanitarian admission programme for extended family members. What does NASC mean by "extended family members"? Does it go beyond children, parents and siblings?
