Ms Edel McGinley:

I will divide the questions among us. I will ask Mr. Pablo Rojas Coppari to take the question on the nationalities. Reporting to the gardaí is an ongoing issue not only for young people but for undocumented people in general. We do not have any other studies on it other than the information we collect in our database system from people coming into our service. We have a lot of case studies of people who do not report crimes to the Garda. That is a huge fear for people. People do not want to be visible. If they go to the gardaí and the gardaí realise they are undocumented, they have a duty to ensure they receive a section 3 letter or a section 4 letter, where they have to report. People do not want to trigger things that may potentially result in their deportation so often things go unreported. That is a worry for young people and in terms of crime prevention.

We have a very good working relationship with the family resource centre in Gort. They are very good friends of ours. The national family resource centres have endorsed the campaign, as have a number of smaller community groups and local groups. We work a lot in Cork, Galway and Waterford - some of the bigger areas where there are undocumented people resident. There are particular pockets where people are resident. I will let Mr. Pablo Rojas Coppari talk about the linkage to nationality. It is significant, particularly in Gort, where networks of migration build up and people come to a particular place because they have a connection to that place. There may be extended family there or friend and that expands in terms of the people who are coming to a particular place.
