What are we looking at as far as people remaining in the system for years and years? I am from Waterford and the direct provision centres are in Tramore. I deal with many people who are in the system, having applied for refugee status. What will we be looking at in terms of timelines when somebody makes an application? Obviously there is an appeals process in place but what members of the public want to know is how quickly will somebody be processed?
