It is. The Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Griffin, has been very strong in promoting Ireland. The briefings that were held yesterday were very important.

I join Senator Kelleher in welcoming today as World Refugee Day. All Members should send a message about Ireland being an island of welcome and a place of sanctuary. I do not have an answer to the Senator's question on the International Protection (Family Reunification) (Amendment) Bill 2017 but I urge her to raise it as Commencement matter to get a timely response from the Minister.
