Mr. Doncha O'Sullivan:
There are different categories. People who are in a voluntary return programme will not get the money until they are actually home. It is given in the main now on a prepaid card that can only be activated in the country they are supposed to be in. We also look for evidence from them of their departure and confirmation of flight details. In some cases, we confirm they have left at the airport.
