Alan Kelly (Tipperary North, Labour)

We can create rules and conditionality around co-operation. My point is that, in all fairness, where a case is genuine and it has gone on for whatever length of time we agree, whether it is four or five years or whatever, is it acceptable for the State to send people back when it has let those people down as regards the process? I accept the argument that people might elongate the process. However, my question is whether it is appropriate for the State to behave in that way? Local communities would fight and argue to try to keep these people.
