I propose to take Questions Nos. 344 and 346 together.

I have no plans to meet the Migrants Rights Centre Ireland at this time. I am aware that the Migrants Rights Centre Ireland have articulated their views on this matter in a wide range of fora including in discussions at the Human Trafficking Roundtable and Working Group consultative structures chaired by the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit of my Department. In relation to the report of analysis by An Garda Síochána of allegations of forced labour that have come to their attention I refer the Deputies to my reply to questions 406, 407 and 420 of 25 October 2011. The position is unchanged since then.
