Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Returning Irish Emigrants: Discussion
9:00 am
Ms Karen McHugh:
As Mr. King said, SafeHome Ireland welcomes the publication of the Indecon report and congratulates the Minister of State, Deputy Cannon, for publishing it very soon after taking office. What is needed now is for the recommendations, of which there are only 30, to be subject to a timescale and action plan. While there are written recommendations, there is no timescale for their implementation. It does not say if it is one year, five years or ten. It makes it difficult for us to do much without calling various bodies to account. We recommend those timescales. We have not approached NAMA, but I might do so after this.
