I thank Ms Egan for her opening statement. It was interesting. It is timely that she is here today because we will be discussing the EU migration pact in a later session. In relation to the international protection element of the board's work, I wonder what impact the new procedure envisaged under the migration pact will have. Obviously, it may be a wee bit early for Ms Egan to comment on that. What impact will the new procedure, and the speed at which it is envisaged that it will progress, have on Ms Egan's solicitors who are representing immigrants? Is it fit for purpose at this stage?
