10:30 am
Lorraine Clifford Lee (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I thank the Minister of State for attending the House. Fianna Fáil is happy to support the Bill. As a practising lawyer, I welcome that it will come into effect. It will help all involved in the criminal justice system.
I will briefly meander, if the Cathaoirleach will allow, and echo the sentiments expressed by Senator Conway on the direct provision system. I will raise this matter with the Minister of State shortly in terms of the bifurcated system of subsidiary protection and asylum and ask for an update. I will correspond with him about that.
