Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Experiences of Migrant Communities Engaging with the Healthcare System and State Bodies: Discussion (Resumed)

Sr. Breege Keenan:

Honestly, I do not know even though we are aware of the issue. I do know that the International Protection Office has on occasion used interpreters from overseas and other European countries before there were interpreters in Ireland. I cannot answer any further on that.

In terms of languages that are used less frequently, I really am not sure. We cannot cover all of the languages and I ask Mr. Killoran to comment.
