I also remind Senators that this all takes place against a backdrop where from the earliest stage in the process every applicant is told, almost invariably in a language that he or she understands, of the obligation to co-operate with the investigation and to keep the Refugee Applications Commissioner informed of every change of address. All letters are sent by registered post in order to ensure delivery, yet still the commissioner and her staff face a high proportion of abandoned cases and no-shows. We must have in place a system for investigating asylum claims that gives each applicant a fair chance to make his or her case and to assist the commissioner in investigating the application. I believe that we can maintain the proper standard of fairness but do so in a way that allows for more efficient deployment of resources in the investigation of claims, allowing for more claims to be brought to finality in a quicker time. That is in the interests of all asylum seekers and particularly of those who are refugees, who will be recognised more promptly as such and will thus be able to take up the rights and entitlements afforded to them in Ireland at the earliest opportunity.
