It is important that we have had this opportunity to discuss the report of the task force policy regarding immigration because emigration has affected almost every Irish family in one way or another. It is timely coming so soon after the recent publication of the report, which was well received by all sections of the community, particularly those voluntary organisations, both at home and abroad, which make such an important contribution to supporting our emigrants in so many ways. The men and women of these organisations, whose work on behalf of our emigrants, both in assisting them in their preparations before departing and, in particular, providing services for them overseas, have not always received the recognition they deserve. The report of the task force has rightly highlighted the invaluable work all the organisations are doing in this area.
