Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

We will support amendments Nos. 42 to 47, inclusive, because we have all been contacted by people who are existing in direct provision and they want to play their part. A call has gone out that everyone who can play their part should play their part and we have people who are here living in appalling and shameful circumstances who are putting up their hands. If their qualifications are appropriate and can be recognised, they should be facilitated. The Minister has said repeatedly that we all need to be on call for Ireland.

They want to be on call for Ireland and we believe they should be facilitated.
