Yes. I thank Mr. Delaney for the clarification on the previous question around resources and the reduction in processing times.

It is a crucially important step. We cannot sufficiently emphasise its importance for those who want to work or integrate in their local community. That they have to wait an additional six months to do so is a challenge and then there is also the uncertainty around the decision-making process. How quickly should the additional steps, with the additional resources, take along with refining the decision making process, impact those seeking asylum in the months ahead?
