Mr. Brian Killoran:

I was going to make a speech, but my colleagues in the other civil society organisations have not done so, so I would feel bad if I did. On behalf of my organisation, I offer our thanks to the committee for this opportunity. To briefly reiterate the overarching point that we bring as an organisation, investing in long-term integration and migration planning in Ireland is a must. It is a reality in Ireland. It is not a new thing; we are 20 years into a migration experience and we need to be planning ten and 15 years ahead and in investing in appropriate measures. It makes sense for everybody to do that. We welcome the interest of the committee in this issue and offer ourselves as a support in any way we can to try to inform that thinking with our experience as service providers.

I thank the committee very much. Happy Christmas to everyone.
