The report referred to by the Deputy deals with the situation of unaccompanied minors previously located in the Calais camp.The Refugee Youth Service makes a series of recommendations tothe responsible French and British authorities. My Departmenthas no responsibility or any oversight role with regard to thematters raised in this report referencing the French and British authorities.

The Deputy is aware that a number of Government Departments are, however, currently working together to advance the recently approved Dáil motion calling on Government to work with the French authorities to identify unaccompanied minors, previously in the Calais camp, who have expressed a wish to relocate to Ireland and not to go to the UK.
