I really think those cases need to be prioritised. The length of time for anybody in this situation is very difficult, but in a child's lifetime, there is almost an obligation on the State to demonstrate fairness in life and ensure that a process is available with a speedy response. Within the development of child's own lifetime, it is so important that we try to deliver justice where there is a perception of injustice.
