Estimates by the Central Statistics Office, CSO, suggest that between April 2016 and April 2017, more than 27,000 Irish emigrants have returned to Ireland. That is very welcome news. However, many are encountering severe difficulties and hurdles when they return, in particular with their dealings with financial institutions. What specific actions are being taken by the Tánaiste and his Department to support Irish emigrants who wish to return to Ireland and will he outline what progress is being made?
