Brendan Ryan (Labour)

I was absent for a while, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, but no doubt you will remind me if I become repetitious. We have all received documentation this morning from Amnesty International, the Irish Council for Civil Liberties and, most significantly, the Irish Refugee Council taking exception to the whole issue of carrier liability and pointing out that it has not achieved what it hoped it would achieve anywhere else in Europe. It also points out that it drives people from regions of great poverty or disorder into the hands of traffickers.
