Report on Immigration Policy: Statements.

 

I welcome the interdepartmental working group being set up to examine this matter and hope these issues are brought to its attention. I also congratulate Mr. Kevin Burke from Ballyvarry outside Castlebar who has done tremendous work to bring emigrants home from England and sought housing and rehabilitation for them. The interdepartmental working group will have to work closely with local authorities. A certain percentage of the housing stock should be put aside for returned emigrants. That would be one way to look after those who have fallen on hard times.
