Experiences of Migrant Communities Engaging with the Healthcare System and State Bodies: Discussion (Resumed)
Sr. Breege Keenan:
On the first question in regard to co-operation between the agencies, the groups that work with migrants work very well together. We have quite a number of meetings and we are involved in meetings with Government Departments. While Crosscare is based in Dublin and Wicklow, we receive calls from all around the country and, as we work with Irish people returning with their non-Irish partners, we also work outside of Ireland, if one likes. I know the Immigrant Council of Ireland has a remit for all of Ireland. In the south, our compatriots down there are Nasc in Cork, Doras Luimní and COPE in Galway.
They are the national organisations we work with. I will pass over to Mr. Neenan in order that we all have an opportunity.
