Commission on emigration

Summary

The Deputy asked the Government to establish a commission to examine emigration, its causes and consequences; the Chair and Minister treated this as a separate matter.

In view of the return of emigration in such proportions — this is acknowledged in the Minister's reply to the question — would the Minister and the Government consider the establishment of a commission on emigration, on the lines of the 1948 commission, to review all aspects of emigration, its causes and consequences?
