I was also going to seek the clarification sought by Deputy Pádraig MacLochlainn, as I understand his point. Having received clarification, the agreement strengthens the process in terms of being sent from the country. As the Minister of State said, every avenue will be looked at before someone is sent from the country, whereas now an individual can be sent from it anyway. Therefore, the agreement strengthens their position. Who in Ireland will be responsible for readmissions?
