Immigrants to raise issues with election candidates

IMMIGRANTS will raise their election issues at a special meet-and-greet event with candidates in Cork today.

Migrant workers, asylum seekers and refugees are expected to raise concerns about access to housing, English language tuition, difficulty in dealing with some public service bodies and the living conditions of asylum seekers.

The event is organised by Nasc, the Irish Immigrant Support Centre, as part of the Make Your Mark campaign which has been running since September 2008.
