Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

Yes. We are under pressure on all fronts. The refugee programme may pose less of a problem in the sense that we can at least anticipate who is arriving and when. It is done through refugee programmes with a variety of UN and other bodies. We will know that, for example, 40 people are arriving and what their family configurations are. We can ensure that appropriate housing is available. That is quite different from the asylum seeker situation where someone just turns up at Dublin Airport or the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, INIS, office on Burgh Quay. We have no forewarning, but the person has to be housed that night. They are different challenges. I am not saying that the refugee programme is easy to manage, as it is not, but it does not pose the same challenges in terms of immediacy of response that the asylum seeker situation does.
