Ms Edel McGinley:

We would like a regularisation, particularly for children and families but for all undocumented people in the State. We would like the committee to give such a recommendation to the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, and to the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Katherine Zappone. The Minister, Deputy Katherine Zappone was a member of the sub-committee on human rights which recommended the introduction of regularisation. She is very well aware of the issue. As Mr. Rojas Coppari said, if the committee would like to go further that this, please feel free to do so.

There is an urgency to it. There are young people in the Visitors Gallery who are in their leaving certificate year and whose futures are stifled and blocked. We must act now. We would like the committee to show its commitment to undocumented children and young people by making a recommendation and sending a report to both Ministers on the issue. It would be very concrete, we would very much welcome it and it would help the children and young people in this situation.
