Migrant Crisis: Discussion
10:00 am
Mr. Michael Kirrane:
The first thing to say is that there has been a huge groundswell of support and pledges from the public generally, with offers of help. We intend to harness all of those and, as I mentioned earlier, the Red Cross has been given the lead task to gather all of those in a structured manner and look at where accommodation has been offered, and where other services have been offered. A whole range of offers have been made.
