It can safely be said that most asylum seekers are allowed to stay in the State only because they have made an application in circumstances where, but for the application, they would be rightly refused permission to enter or remain in the State. The position is, therefore, as follows. If a person comes to Ireland claiming asylum, he or she obtains certain privileges on that account. They can invoke this panoply of procedures, but we are imposing a co-relative obligation to keep the asylum process – which they have invoked – voluntarily, informed of their whereabouts in order to ensure that there is a clear duty on them to co-operate with the process.
