Maybe we will see when the Department officials are available on the issue of accommodation. Regarding the meeting with IPO officials, I suggest we bring in officials from the Department of Justice on the same day. Deputy Dillon mentioned the IPO but I suggest we add to the agenda a discussion on the efficiency of the assessment of applicants – it is sometimes referred to as screening, which is not a very good word – and on how long it is taking and the efficiency of the system, including the appeals system. Is that agreed?
