Ms Edel McGinley:

Can I come in around the supports? We are talking about this in the abstract and it is about the operationalisation of all this and how it is going to be done now and into the future. It is the sense that we are eroding the rights of people who are coming here seeking safety. It is something that we, as a country, this justice committee and the Dáil, should all be concerned about. We should be looking to enhance people's rights and not erode them. As for the issue of resources and how somebody in the accelerated procedure accesses legal representation and advice, in our experience over the years it takes time for people to tell a story and for their situation to be known and understood. In these accelerated procedures, that is not going to happen. It is very worrying, and very concerning legislation.
