I am responding to Deputy McNamara, if the Deputy does not mind. Regarding the number of prosecutions, Deputy McNamara said there have been zero. This is something I will raise with the Minister for Justice. We have ensured that airline and immigration staff are properly and appropriately trained to deal with people coming in who are trying to get around the laws that are in place. The claims of the vast majority of people seeking asylum and protection here will be processed expeditiously and efficiently. Those who can stay should stay and should get a welcome in the country.
