I want to challenge the Minister on certain matters and will be opposing the motion for several reasons. It is not that I am opposed to joining the recast reception conditions directive which is a good measure, but the interim measures raise a series of questions. The Minister has said the opt-in proposal was broadly welcomed and supported at the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice and Equality. My information from the committee is that a number of questions directly asked of the Minister were not answered adequately. That is the view of certain members of the committee.
