Ms Kate Duggan:

The situation is complicated, and we welcome the opportunity now to go before the justice committee to discuss the new EU migration pact in terms of roles and responsibilities around age determination because all we can do is a psychosocial assessment. We do not have documentary evidence, we do not have fingerprints - we do not have access to any of those systems. We also have to apply the benefit of the doubt because our biggest concern is that a child would be placed in an adult IPAS setting.
