Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2016
127. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she has considered the latest refugee youth service report number three, from November 2016; and the actions that have been taken as a result of its findings. [37579/16]
View answerThe 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 to the responsible French and British authorities. My Department has no responsibility or any oversight role with regard to the matters 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.
