I am sure some in the civil liberties brigade will object to the fingerprinting provision. However, it is appalling that there should be certain child swapping activities among asylum seekers. Given the need to protect children, they should not be condoned or facilitated in any way. The fingerprinting of those under the age of 14 years, especially when done, as provided, in the presence of a guardian and approved by a senior member of the Garda Síochána or a person designated by the Minster, will avoid these activities, which are done with the intent of abusing the facilities for asylum seekers. Genuine asylum seekers would want to respect the facilities and procedures if they intend to become citizens of the State. They would be welcomed as such. Those without such regard would not make good citizens.
