Ms Duggan is saying that some of these young people may be over 18 and they have to be separated from people who are genuinely under 18. This adds to the problem. The responsibility for checking this falls to the IPO, which is under the Department of Justice. The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth looks after accommodation. I want to get to the bottom of this. Are the checks being carried out at the IPO insufficient? I know there is nobody from that office this here morning. This is a question for Mr. Delaney.
