Cabinet Committees
Dail Éireann — 2021-03-24
============================================================

Cian O'Callaghan (SD), Dublin Bay North

I agree it is concerning that the committee has not met since November given the considerable pressures, in particular mental health pressures, young people are under.
The Taoiseach previously gave a commitment on young people and children who are trapped in camps on Greek islands. As the Taoiseach knows, in September last year a fire at one of these camps left 12,000 people, including 4,000 children, destitute. When will the commitment to evacuate 50 of these people, including children, be carried out? Will he consider providing residency support for approximately 400 people who are trapped in these camps?
