Ms Fiona Hurley:

To add to Mr. Bruton's point, at the moment there is a legal obligation to register within 90 days with the Garda National Immigration Bureau. If you live outside the Dublin region, such as in Cork, it takes four and a half months to get an appointment, which would exceed that 90-day period, and I believe that in Limerick it is similar, at about four months. It is essential that gardaí who are involved in that registration process will not be redeployed elsewhere because we actually need additional resources at those registration desks, rather than having them taken away.
