Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

Deputy Cuffe anticipated my first question. Does the Minister agree that the huge changes which immigration has fostered in our society have given rise to challenges which need to be addressed as a priority? Does he agree with the recommendation of the committee that clear responsibility to support social and economic integration of immigrants should be given to one Government agency? That agency would be separate to Deputy Cuffe's proposal for a junior Minister because a Minister should also be appointed to deal with migration and related issues. When can we expect a Government policy to be introduced and legislation to be brought on migration and related issues?
