People who come to Ireland from Kazakhstan as a result of the persecution the Deputy outlined will give that narrative to the International Protection Office and the office will assess their application. If it is genuine and the office accepts it, they will be granted asylum here. Their human rights are protected in that process.

This only arises in the case of people who have gone through that process and an appeal and are probably going through a judicial review, or those who just arrive here, do not claim asylum and are here illegally. We are just trying to say they are not entitled to be here and must go. If they do not go, what do we do?
