Mr. Noel Waters:
What will be different in the new system is that people will be required at the very point of making an application to put forward every single ground on which they are claiming protection in the State. They will not be allowed back into the system at a later stage on the basis that a new ground has emerged. They will be required from the outset to put all their information onto the system when making their application.
