International Protection Bill 2026: Committee Stage
Dail Éireann — 2026-02-18
============================================================

Matt Carthy (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

How many extra staff are going to be provided, how much extra funding is going to be provided and when is that going to be funded? Will the Minister of State ensure all those measures are put in place before he assigns these additional responsibilities to a State agency that has not been able to fulfil the responsibilities it already has?
