I thank the Minister for coming before us. If it is okay with her, I am going to ask questions and then seek individual answers to each. I have about four or five questions. My first query relates to the asylum procedure regulation with regard to the 12-week timeline the pact outlines. Is this feasible in the Irish context? Notwithstanding the increases in staffing levels in recent years, will more staff be needed as a result of this 12-week requirement?
