Next is petition No. 5 of 2023, "Create a Turkish family scheme visa for people who have been affected by or become homeless due to the earthquake", from Mr. Mahsun Aydogan. This petition relates to a request that Ireland create a new temporary visa scheme for the affected families of Turkish residents in Ireland to join them for a period. The petitions case manager corresponded with Ms Oonagh McPhillips, Secretary General at the Department of Justice, on 2 March 2023 on behalf of the petitioner and received a reply on 12 April 2023.

The committee recommends that the correspondence from the Department of Justice be forwarded to the petitioner for comment within 14 days. Do members have any views?
