When was that? The council's representatives appeared before the committee and gave an impressive presentation on the reception conditions. The committee welcomed their involvement and felt that they had a positive and worthwhile role to play. We would be particularly concerned if their views were not taken into account. I am not sure about an acknowledgement from the Department that it received their submission when the view they put to us was that they have been actively trying to engage with the Department and its door was not open to them. If the Minister cannot answer that now, we can park it. He can come back to us on it.
