I know we have gone through amendment by amendment but I am not much clearer as to how the Department intends to deal with these minors. Perhaps the Minister of State could explain what he means by not accepting the amendments. The issue here is about unaccompanied minors coming in, the competency of people to interview them and having the proper training in place. I ask him to talk us through the procedure envisaged by the Department in that scenario so we are all clear as to how things will change under this new protection regime.
