Mr. Noel Waters:

They are identified by our staff in camps, generally in Lebanon, and brought here. The second strand to that are people who are brought here under the rules that were established by the European governments in the wake of the crisis in 2016 where each country was given a number of people it could bring to the country. That is the second strand. We are now working our way through that with bringing people here from Greece to Ireland.
