Mr. Michael Kirrane:

As the commissioner mentioned earlier, there are ongoing meetings in Italy, Greece and Brussels to work out the logistics. The timetable for that will be dictated by how quickly the hotspots are established and the speed with which we get our liaison officers on the ground. We also want to ensure that we have the appropriate accommodation here for them when they arrive. At best estimate at this stage, we expect to see the first coming by year end. That is not fully decided. It is a very fluid situation at the moment and there are discussions going on at European and domestic level. We want to ensure that by the time we receive those people, we are ready and have the centres and facilities in place for them.
