Ms Rosemary Hennigan:

Yes, that is outlined under the directive. In order to opt into that provision, we would have to have some basis for it in Irish law. When considering what this will look like, I note that is not just for asylum seekers. It is also for the people who will be conducting vulnerability assessments. They will need to know what training will be involved, they will need adequate resources and so on. At the moment it is unclear how that will be done, but yes, to transpose that aspect of the directive there would need to be a basis in Irish law.
