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

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

Ms Edel McGinley:

It is very practical. We are asking for a letter, possibly from the Chair, outlining a reduction in the year requirements. As some people may have secured short immigration status for a period of time, they are in and they are out. That situation is not included right now so it is about trying to capture as many people as possible. We are asking for a reduction in the years that are currently proposed. I can certainly follow up directly with the Deputy or the Chairperson with more detail, if that is useful. Ms Magat will say something on employment permits.
