Mr. Doncha O'Sullivan:

So far this year, the rate at which cases are upheld is about 70% at the appeal stage. It is up a little bit on last year, which probably reflects the number of safe countries going through the system. It tends to vary from between 60% and 70% of cases which are upheld at the second stage. As Mr. Delaney said, even after that there is an opportunity to make a case for permission to remain. Some people get to stay on essentially humanitarian or family grounds after their case has been determined by the appeals process.
