Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Nick Henderson:

On the point around interviews, currently, if one of my colleagues would attend the international protection office which they have the right to do as the person's legal representative, they cannot make a note, using a laptop, of that interview. We have asked that repeatedly. It was previously allowed but it is not currently allowed. A person has to make the record by hand.
