I will ask the remainder of my questions together. IHAP is a good programme, but I am not advocating it as a solution to all of our problems by any means. Rather, I am pointing out that the policy behind it is inconsistent with the Department's arguments against this Bill.

I will ask my final two questions. The Seanad amended the Bill to add a section 57A to the 2015 Act. I may have the number wrong, but it relates to the review. It has not been discussed much. Senator Kelleher or someone else might expand on this. Is there generally a need to review how reviews and appeals in the asylum and immigration field are handled? Do we need an overhaul of the legislation and the offices governing it?

Are the witnesses of the view that persons applying for family reunification should be entitled to legal aid?
