Charlie McConalogue (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

From my understanding, a case has been made and the point put forward as a counterpoint to the fact that it should be dealt with and processed at Dublin Airport if it lands at Dublin Airport and there is a border control post there, which there is.

I have asked my officials to meet to discuss and tease out the issue.

I will revert to Deputies McNamara, Cathal Crowe and Carey and Senator Dooley on their representations. It is important that the issue be assessed fully and that the arguments and points they raise be addressed satisfactorily and answered clearly. The outcome from all of this must meet the requirements and ensure that we are compliant with the law. If possible, though, it should apply as much flexibility as practicable for people to operate the system well and efficiently. My officials will meet on this matter, after which we will assess the situation and update the Deputy.
