James Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy again for his question. I do not have the figure he seeks to hand but I will undertake to get it for him. Regarding the information, part of the challenge is the sheer volume of requests that come in. However, the Department and the Minister have undertaken to reach out to Deputies to see what the particular difficulties they are having in dealing with international protection applications, and how we can improve that system for them so they can get the information they need. I agree it can be a challenge and they are often left coming to myself or the Minister to try to get the particular information. The more we can streamline that information, the better.
