Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for his reply. Between 2005 and the FOI request this year, there was a series of correspondence submitted to the Department and no substantive or reasonable response was given to those issues over that three year period. How is it that nobody thought to look at the file and respond to it over three years? Does this not highlight the fact that our current asylum system is a mess and that there is nobody in charge? What is being proposed in the current immigration Bill will not improve it.
