I thank the Ceann Comhairle for selecting this topic for discussion. This is the third time I have raised the immigration system during the Topical Issues Debate and the third time the Minister for Justice and Equality has not been present to respond. His absence is particularly discomfiting given that he was in the Chamber only ten minutes ago. Is he due to return to the House?
