Seanad debates

Immigration Bill 2002 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] : Report and Final Stages.

 

The second new section, 11B, inserted by amendment No. 17, sets out a range of matters to which regard is to be had when assessing the credibility of an applicant. These are largely a matter of common sense and serve to put beyond doubt what factors are relevant in assessing credibility, a matter so often critical to the success or otherwise of an asylum claim. The new section 11C puts on a statutory footing the requirement of the applicant to co-operate in the investigation of the claim and, in that context, to give all information at the earliest opportunity to the investigators.
