On immigration, obviously the Dublin Convention requires that someone applying for asylum must apply in their first port of call. If somebody has applied for asylum in the United Kingdom and they are refused or their process is still being considered, will they then be able to apply for asylum in this State again or will we have rules in place to say they have already applied in the UK?
