Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Engagement with Ad-Hoc Group for North-South and East-West Cooperation
Mr. Chris Quinn:
Unfortunately, I do not have very much to add to that. My mind strayed a little bit left field when EEA nationals were discussed. There is a conversation to be had on that in addition to what we are talking about with respect to asylum seekers and young people who are refugees. There is often a strong focus on EEA nationals across the board but there is some work to be done on how we engage with young people seeking asylum on the island of Ireland, both North and South, and the impact Brexit might have on them. Linked to that is some work we are doing on a bill of rights for Northern Ireland. That conversation is important in the context of everything that we are discussing today.
