I have a couple of questions on that but I want to deal with the specific issues in respect of Kazakhstan. As of last month, Kazakhstan was not on the EU list of safe countries of origin. It is not on the Irish list of safe countries of origin and I am not aware of it being on any EU member state's safe country of origin list.

I could be wrong on that but certainly it is not on the Irish list or the EU list. Is the Minister satisfied that Kazakhstan fulfils the criteria in Irish law to be a safe country of origin?
