Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Direct Provision and the International Protection Application Process: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Michael Kirrane:
To add to this, at present we have approximately 330 of these cases on hand. We have assigned additional resources to clear them in the next four weeks and at the end of this process we expect the new decisions coming through to issue within approximately ten working days. We have changed the process by running some of this in parallel so there is no delay at the end of the recommendation coming from the IPO or the IPAT for the decision letter to issue.
