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

 

Selection for priority treatment at first instance does not carry any implication as to the soundness or otherwise of the basis for the application. One may compare, for instance, paragraph (g), providing for prioritisation of applications which are likely to be well-founded, with paragraph (i) which provides likewise for applications which on the face of it show no basis for the contention that the applicant is a refugee. Both these are classes of cases which should, if possible, receive priority treatment over the normal run of cases.
