I have just a few short questions. One relates to the "prescribed place" or place of detention mentioned in Part 18. I presume these are existing prisons. Is that what is meant by "prescribed place"?

With regard to the new arrangements for returns to the UK, will people have a right of appeal? How long will be allowed for such an appeal? Will it be the normal ten working days? In cases such as these, people often have difficulty in accessing legal representation, so a reasonable length of time, such as two weeks or ten working days, should be allowed.

My second to last question is on the section on marriages and divorces. This was mentioned in the briefing document but is not in the heads of the Bill. Is there any particular reason for that?

My last question is on the people who are subject to the arrangements regarding safe third countries. Will such people be outside the international protection scheme and process? Will they be entitled to avail of direct provision or to get social welfare supports? I have noticed that it is difficult enough for Irish people who have been abroad for some time to return because they have not been ordinarily resident here, which causes difficulties with regard to taxes and social welfare supports. Will these people be entitled to such things?
