Estimates for Public Services 2020
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-07
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I thank the Deputy very much for his kind comments.
Obviously, the work of the Chief State Solicitor's office is independent of the Department of the Taoiseach but I will take up the Deputy's point on the making of representations to INIS. What is occurring should not happen. We should have the facility to make representations on behalf of individuals or, as the Deputy is essentially saying, to have the process subjected to the oversight of this House.
