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

Integration and Refugee Issues: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Carol Baxter:

It is under active consideration. There is quite a deal more to do. We have to finalise berths and issue a request for tender for the operator of a vessel or vessels. There is still a number of steps to take and a bit of further engagement with the relevant local authorities is required. Such a scheme is months away but it is a serious strand on which we are working at the moment.
