Ms Oonagh McPhillips:
Just to clarify - Mr. O’Sullivan might come in on this also - quite often when individuals seek asylum, they tell us their real identity. They will have other documents to prove their identity and they will produce them. They may have a copy on their phone or something like that. Having gained entry, they do not necessarily continue to have a different identity, if that makes sense.
