The Minister used the example of Georgia, which was not on the safe list initially, even though it was a country that had applied for membership of the EU. By virtue of that alone, it would render it a safe country. I am just pointing out that the delay in the Department taking actions is undermining the confidence of the people in the system.

I am conscious that I am curtailed by the time that I have. The 30,000 per annum figure - is that 30,000 figure across the whole of the EU?
