Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Crosscare Emigrant Support Service: Discussion
10:30 am
Ms Judy McAvoy:
What would be very useful is that a lot of our clients are Irish citizens returning from conflict zones, such as Libya, and often the key thing I would include with those applications is a print-out of the travel advice from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, having highlighted the part stating it advises all Irish citizens to leave Libya immediately. Often, however, that is not enough. In some cases that should be exactly enough because somebody cannot return to Libya in any reasonable capacity. Documents like that really should be capable of standing alone, in those cases..
