Ms Clare Murphy:

Together with what Ms Duggan said, there are also obviously issues when child protection and welfare issues emerge. First of all, there is the translation issue and having to employ translators. Then, as Ms Duggan said, there can be a different parenting culture. Something we might not find acceptable in Ireland might be acceptable in other cultures. It is, therefore, getting all those nuances right. However, a lot of interagency support is being offered.
