One of the petitioners, Keep Syrian "Refugees" Out Of Ireland, might not be happy with being told about the progress being made, but the other two will be. We will send copies of the transcripts. The Senator is correct in saying Irish citizens were probably ahead of others across Europe and their governments. We have comprehensive transcripts to send to the petitioners who will be able to see that the Oireachtas has engaged significantly on the issue.
We will now go into private session. We will invite representatives of the Office of the Pensions Ombudsman to join us.
