556. To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs his views on the situation faced by minors and young persons who have been born here or who are long-term resident here but are not Irish, EU, UK, EEA or Swiss citizens in terms of discrimination they may face in accessing education, public services and employment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to advise the Deputy that I am not in a position to comment as these responsibilities have not yet transferred to my Department. These matters are more appropriate for the attention of my Cabinet colleague, the Minister for Justice and Equality.

The transfer of functions process is ongoing in this regard.
