- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Global Resettlement Needs and Related Matters: UNHCR (24 Jun 2015)
Katherine Zappone: The witness noted in the presentation that there will be greater numbers coming to Ireland, potentially, subsequent to European decisions, perhaps even in addition to the ways in which we have responded just recently. I refer to the comments of the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald. I note what the paper states about UN resettlement departures in 2014, as we...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Global Resettlement Needs and Related Matters: UNHCR (24 Jun 2015)
Katherine Zappone: That is very helpful in understanding the debate. I would be interested to hear a little about some of the components of the resettlement programme, and it would benefit the committee.

Katherine Zappone: I appreciate the Minister of State's response. He addressed amendment No. 8 a few minutes ago, which provides for a reference to the need for quality job creation. I am supporting the Bill and think it is a very important step forward. The Minister of State is clearly deeply cognisant of what is in the Bill and what will not be in it.

Katherine Zappone: I thank the Minister of State. I believe him and if he continues in his role, all of those things can happen. I feel very strongly about both of the amendments.
