Mr. Deaglán Ó Briain:

The Department has funded and worked with the International Organization for Migration, IOM, office in Dublin to put a cohort of trained cultural mediators in place. The particular focus there is on victims of human trafficking, but we would be interested in and open to exploring that model with other groups, either by putting them in contact with the IOM or by having a direct relationship with them. There is considerable emphasis in the Department on increasing the supports that we provide for victims of crime and access to justice. We are definitely open to having discussions on whether that cultural mediation model might be extended. We might work further with the IOM and with other NGOs to do that.
