Mr. Justice Bryan McMahon:

I have figures from the Department that were sent to me yesterday, so they could hardly be hotter off the presses. I have some difficulty in interpreting the tables but there were 346 people who have been residing in Reception and Integration Agency, RIA, sites for more than four years, of whom 75 had status granted, 41 had been issued deportation orders, and 230 are still under consideration. Moreover, 141, 66, 63, 16, 19, 26, 13, eight, one and three people have been there for more than five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12, 13 and 14 years, respectively. Therefore, a total of 702 people have been residing in RIA sites for more than four years. I can give these figures to the committee.
