I thank the Minister for her response. I welcome the fact that she hopes to have the scheme in place before the Dáil recess. It is also important we understand there are Afghan people living in this country - especially, as the Minister said, women and children - who have family members in the homeland and who are seriously concerned and stressed out about what will happen to them. I therefore welcome the fact that this is being finalised now and hope that when it does open, it will run efficiently, taking into account all the constraints that have to be dealt with and the security issues surrounding all this. It is great that this is being done. As the Minister said, it is unique and sets a standard for other countries to do the same thing. I again compliment the Minister on that. I look forward to seeing the detail of the scheme when it is published in the coming weeks.
