Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Migrant Crisis: Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. Michael Kirrane:

It is fair to say we are at the start of the process. The decision on the numbers coming was only made last week. The subgroups under the task force, which I mentioned, will be looking at each of those areas, including how best to engage with local communities and best practice in respect of previous programmes that were run for refugees, with a view to picking what is best from those. Certainly that is the intention over the coming months.
