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

 

Senator Jim Walsh raised the question of combining unfounded applications for the purpose of processing. I stress that every applicant will obtain an individual consideration of his or her application on its merits. That is as it should be. However, central to the new provision is the introduction of accelerators to speed up the processing of abusive claims. What we are dealing with is prioritisation, provision of shorter periods for appeals and generally for streamlining of procedures and documentation.
