Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

This would take a great deal of time because one would have to deal with countries and their areas and political movements. If it were possible I would welcome the Irish public's seeing the stories that are put forward and rejected at both levels, unbelievable stories of human sacrifice and selection for cults. I see the files because the humanitarian leave to remain files for unsuccessful applicants come before me in considerable numbers. I wish Members of this House could see the nature of the claims for asylum here.
