Dr. Niall Muldoon:

Currently, we do not have a shared understanding with the Department of Justice and Equality as to our remit within that arena. We receive a small number of complaints in that context and are continuously trying to work with asylum seekers' representative bodies to help them to bring forward complaints if necessary. We are engaging in this as often as possible and where necessary when complaints come forward. We must be careful not to go outside our remit, but we are very aware of the problems that have been highlighted. It is something we are working on proactively.
