Support for Emigrant Groups Abroad

Summary

De Rossa sought financial assistance for immigrant organisations in the UK, Canada and Australia. The Minister said he would obtain the information and report back.

Will the Minister say what financial assistance the Government propose to give to immigrant organisations other than those in the United States, particularly those in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.

Comment on this

That will have to be dealt with by way of a separate question from the Deputy. Information in relation to the US scene is all that is contained in my brief.

Comment on this

I do not think I need table a separate question because Deputy McCartan asked the Minister if it was intended to provide similar financial support for immigrant groups in other countries. Deputy McCartan asked the Minister to make a statement on the matter and that is what I am asking the Minister to do.

Comment on this

I will have to communicate with the Deputy on that point. I assumed, probably incorrectly, that Deputy McCartan's question referred to the United States. I apologise for that but I will obtain the information and convey it to the Deputy as soon as possible.
