Immigration Bill, 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).
2:30 pm
Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)
I am against this. The primary onus is to notify in advance that one is not turning up for an interview. This is what I would expect from someone acting in good faith. The three day period provides a period of grace after the interview to deal with unexpected domestic difficulties that might arise on the day. If I say the period is one month then nobody will notify in advance, nobody will notify within three days and the system will foul up, so I am against it.
