Mr. Doncha O'Sullivan:

When you look at the individual cases, there tends be to something quite unusual in the case. The one that stood out most for me was that we had a child who applied in her own right. Her parents had been granted status but had not maintained any contact with us and were not in IPAS. Clearly, this child had a valid application but we cannot conclude it, so we need to find some way to conclude it validly. However, there is no suggestion that they are sitting around waiting in IPAS and not being dealt with.
