Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

General Scheme of the International Protection Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Nick Henderson:

I am speaking to this relatively second hand but it may be that the Department of justice has to negotiate or advocate for that person to the embassy of that country for the person to be documented. It may be that the person has to engage with the embassy of that country to be documented. If the embassy of that country is in London, it may have to somehow communicate with Dublin. There are various issues there. I do not have a proper and accurate number of people who fall within that category. What I am saying is based on our casework experience over the last decade.
