Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)

This is an important issue and every effort must be made to have an integrated and multicultural society. The Minister has informed us that no one is answerable to him or that he has no control over measures that are being drawn up for planning processes and good practices for migrant workers. Is that not an admission that he is doing nothing in the area? The issue of the integration and the welcoming of the migrants and their families into our society is not moving as it should. This is because the Department is not forthcoming in its support.
