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

 

The prioritisation of cases will have to be done in a careful and balanced way. To designate everything as a priority would mean that nothing would be a priority. We have to be careful not to place an intolerable burden on the commissioner. However, proper application of this provision will result in more streamlined and effective management of the caseload of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and the Refugee Appeals Tribunal, and that is something which will benefit both institutions and those in need of asylum from persecution.
