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

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

Mr. Brian Killoran:

While there is an immediacy to that issue because services like ours are going through it on a daily basis during the week, it is important to reflect on what the committee can do to ensure the next national migrant integration strategy comes into being very soon in 2022 and has adequate consultation but also real targets on these matters and real deliverables on things like interpretation and access to services. The lens of the national migrant integration strategy is important to consider in making sure that happens.
