Sr. Breege Keenan:

The undocumented scheme is brilliant and we are really pleased it has been brought forward. The Migrant Rights Centre and the other organisations really pushed for it and we welcome it. I welcome also the fact international protection applicants who have been here for at least two years will be included. That is very good and I hope they will be given the opportunity to continue with their application for refugee status if they want to do so, which will be important. Nevertheless, there will still be people who will be outside of it. We have been working in this area for long enough to know that will be the case, for whatever reason. There is the cost that is involved and we are not fully sure about the guidelines on it. If applicants are looking for passports and other such documentation, it will be difficult for some of the people who are undocumented.
