Questions (552)
Written answers
My Department have taken a significant number of measures to increase the capacity of the international protection system.
In November 2022, I introduced an accelerated procedure for international protection applicants from designated safe countries of origin. These applicants now typically receive a first instance decision within three months, a significant reduction from a norm of 22 to 26 months in recent years.
In July 2023, I published a report on the international protection modernisation programme for 2023 and 2024. This programme involved unparalleled investment in staff, panel members, reengineered processes, and technology. We have implemented measures to improve efficiencies and throughput as well as enhancing the application, interview and decision-making process for applicants.
I have and I will continue to ramp up resources at every stage of the international protection system.
One of the priority areas of focus has been to recruit both civil servants and panel members, to increase case processing. The International Protection Office (IPO) now has over 400 staff, an increase of 95% over 2022. The IPO made 2,482 first instance determinations in 2021, 4,982 in 2022, 9,000 in 2023 and are confident of delivering over 14,000 decisions this year.
Since I introduced accelerated processing in November 2022, applications from eight designated safe countries have dropped by 50%. I added two additional countries to the safe country list earlier this year and seven more are under review.
I recently extended accelerated processing to whatever country has the highest number of applicants in the previous quarter. This will be reviewed on a quarterly basis.
Reforms to the international protection process will continue in 2024. Approximately €34m additional funding was allocated in Budget 2024 to the IPO and the International Protection Appeals Tribunal (IPAT) to continue to scale up processing. These measures, and all other aspects of the international protection modernisation programme will continue to be kept under review and improved on a continuous ongoing basis.
The EU Migration and Asylum Pact, if approved by the Houses of the Oireachtas, will introduce legally binding processing times, increase screening and border checks, and improve the efficiency and efficacy of the returns system.

In relation to Judicial Reviews relating to International Protection, I can advise that management of the courts, operational matters and logistical functions are the responsibility of the judiciary and Courts Service, which are independent in exercising their functions under the Courts Service Act 1998 and given the separation of powers in the Constitution.
Additionally, the scheduling of individual court cases and the allocation of court business are entirely matters for the Presidents of the Courts and the presiding judges who are, under the Constitution, independent in the exercise of their judicial functions.

As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is by law responsible for the administration of An Garda Síochána, including any decisions around commemorations. I am advised by the Garda authorities that to mark the 100th anniversary of the historic amalgamation with the Dublin Metropolitan Police (DMP), a Committee under the management of the Assistant Commissioner for the Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) has been established, to propose a commemorative programme to mark the occasion.
I am further advised that at this time, there are no definitive plans in this regard. It is anticipated that further information in respect of a proposal concerning a commemorative programme will be available in the coming months.

Questions (555, 556)
Jim O'Callaghan
Question:555. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice if she intends to change the law in order to preclude persons convicted of rape or other serious crimes in Ireland that constitute a danger to the community of the State from applying for international protection on their release from prison. [25293/24]

Question:556. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice if she will bring forward legislation to amend section 21 (2) of the International Protection Act 2015 to make inadmissible any application for international protection by a person who has been convicted, whether in the State or not, of a particularly serious crime that constitutes a danger to the community of the State. [25294/24]
View answerWritten answers
I propose to take Questions Nos. 555 and 556 together.
My Department takes all necessary steps to manage the international protection process efficiently and effectively, while ensuring the integrity of those processes is maintained at all times.
The International Protection Office (IPO) considers all facts when making a determination on an applicant’s case. An Garda Síochána notify my Department of matters which may be relevant to its examination of an application. Any person being considered for a grant of status (refugee status, subsidiary protection or permission to remain) will have a character and conduct check (including checks for criminality) carried out in respect of them before any such status is conferred on them.
Under section 49(3) of the International Protection Act, a person who might otherwise qualify as a refugee may be refused a refugee declaration where there are reasonable grounds for regarding the person as a danger to the security of the State, or the person, having been convicted, whether in the State or not, of a particularly serious crime, constitutes a danger to the community of the State. Persons may also be excluded from being a refugee on a range of grounds including that they have committed a serious non-political crime outside the State.
In addition, the International Protection Act further provides that protection applicants, including persons applying in the circumstances referred to by the Deputy, may be detained if it is suspected that they pose a threat to public security or public order in the State, and that detention can be extended or the person may be made subject to conditions by a judge of the District Court. In such circumstances the application is subject to accelerated processing.
I want to assure the Deputy that the Immigration Services maintain ongoing contact with An Garda Síochána and the Irish Prison Service in relation to such individuals and it is a priority of the Immigration Services to seek the removal or deportation of any person posing a threat to public safety or security.
Question No. 556 answered with Question No. 555.
Citizenship Applications
Questions (557)
Bernard Durkan
Question:557. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice the progress to date in the application for citizenship in the case of a person (details supplied); when the application is due to be finalised; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25331/24]
View answerWritten answers
The naturalisation application from the person referred to by the Deputy continues to be processed by my Department.
It is recognised that all applicants for citizenship would wish to have a decision on their application without delay. However, the nature of the naturalisation process is such that, for a broad range of reasons, some cases will take longer than others to process. In some instances, completing the necessary checks can take a considerable period of time.
I understand the extended wait times can be frustrating for applicants and my Department has been working hard to clear backlogs.
My Department is taking a number of steps to speed up the processing of applications and a number of digitisation measures have been introduced to increase efficiency in the process, including eVetting and online payments.
My Department has recently moved from paper to online based citizenship applications. This is one of a number of measures introduced in an effort to optimise the application process and enhance the overall customer service experience. As part of the new online process, customers are issued with an acknowledgment on submission of the online application. The forms provide a seamless application process and help guide applicants through what is required for an application.
In a little over two years the Citizenship Division of my Department has gone from processing around 12,000 applications a year to processing over 20,000 applications. This 66% increase in processing has been achieved through digitising and streamlining processes.
Finally, I can advise the Deputy that the Citizenship Division of my Department continues to communicate regularly with all applicants to keep them informed as to updates on processing times and arrangements.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility at: IMoireachtasmail@justice.ie, which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in the cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.

Citizenship Applications
Questions (560)
Catherine Connolly
Question:560. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Justice if a person with refugee status in Ukraine, who is legally resident in Ireland due to the war in Ukraine, can apply for Irish citizenship as he has no passport from his own country and no prospect of getting one as he is a refugee; or if he becomes entitled to apply for Irish citizenship after 5 years; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25384/24]
View answerWritten answers
EU Council Implementing Decision 2022/382 applied the provisions of the Temporary Protection Directive to persons displaced by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including persons recognised as refugees in Ukraine. The Council Implementing Decision was extended to March 2025 at a meeting of the European Council last September. Discussions on the arrangements for beneficiaries of Temporary Protection after March 2025, when the Directive is no longer active, are ongoing, both within the Government and at an EU level, in recognition of the need for certainty for beneficiaries of temporary protection in the EU. These discussions include the residency conditions for beneficiaries of Temporary Protection when the Directive is no longer active in March 2025. The Deputy will appreciate that I cannot pre-empt future discussions and decisions of either the EU or the Government. The granting of Irish citizenship through naturalisation is governed by the provisions of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956. All applications for a certificate of naturalisation are processed and assessed individually in accordance with the provisions of the Act. Section 15 of the Act sets out the statutory conditions that must be fulfilled for a certificate of naturalisation to be granted. The conditions include that applicants must have 5 years reckonable residence in the State prior to making an application. There is no exemption from these requirements for beneficiaries of Temporary Protection in Ireland.
Child Abduction
Questions (561)
Carol Nolan
Question:561. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Justice the number of reports made to An Garda Síochána on attempted child abductions and child abductions for the years 2019 to 2023 and to date in 2024, tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25397/24]
View answerWritten answers
The protection of children is a top priority for my Department, the justice agencies and the whole of Government. Legislation is in place that criminalises child abduction, and An Garda Síochána, in cooperation with social media companies and the public through the Child Rescue Ireland Alert (CRI Alert) system, work to ensure that any child that goes missing is found as quickly as possible.
Child abduction is an offence under sections 16 and 17 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997, which provides for an offence of abduction of a child by a parent (section 16) or by other persons (section 17). A person found guilty of an offence under these sections is liable on summary conviction to a fine or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months, or both and on conviction on indictment to a fine or to a term of imprisonment not exceeding seven years, or to both.
As the Deputy will be aware, the Central Statistics Office (CSO), as the national statistical agency, is responsible for the compilation and publication of all crime statistics.
I am advised by An Garda Síochána that the CSO publish statistics on the offence of ‘Abduction of Persons under 16 years of age’. This information can be found at the following links below:
Annually at National level at https://data.cso.ie/table/CJA01.
Quarterly at Regional level at https://data.cso.ie/table/CJQ05
The CSO produces these statistics using data recorded on An Garda Síochána’s PULSE system and makes regular releases in relation to various crime statistics. The most recent statistics were released on 25 March 2024, providing statistics for Recorded Crime for Quarter 4 (Q4) 2023. However, it is worth noting that crime statistics for Q1 of 2024 are not yet available and are due to be published by the CSO towards the end of June.
I am further advised that there is no category in PULSE that explicitly records the number of attempted child abductions.

Question:565. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Justice the percentage of Garda roads policing unit fleet that are currently fitted out with automatic number plate recognition system; If the number of those vehicles that are fitted out with ANPR system will increase during the remainder of the year. [25570/24]
View answerWritten answers
As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including the purchase, allocation, and effective and efficient use of Garda vehicles. As Minister, I have no role in these independent functions.
The unprecedented allocation of over €2.35 billion for 2024 to An Garda Síochána demonstrates the Government's commitment to ensuring An Garda Síochána has provision for the equipment, technology, facilities, fleet and personnel it needs to carry out vital policing work. I am advised that the purchase and allocation of vehicles is made on the basis of identified operational demands and the availability of resources. This is reviewed on a continual basis.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that, as of 30 April 2024, there are 335 vehicles assigned to the Roads Policing Unit. Of this figure, there are currently 131 roads policing vehicles equipped with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology and additional interconnection with Garda mobility devices.
I understand that ANPR-equipped motorcycles were trialled by An Garda Síochána and that this has now been completed. I have been informed that there are no plans going forward to install ANPR systems to any more motorcycles.
In March of this year, there were 631 Gardai assigned to roads policing. I am informed that all Roads Policing Gardaí have access to the ANPR app through their mobility device. It is anticipated that all future purchases of roads policing vehicles will be fitted out with ANPR technology prior to unit allocation.

However, to be of assistance, I sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána. I have been advised that, between 1 January 2024 and 5 June 2024, a total of 420 inspections of premises were conducted across Clare/Tipperary Division. I am further advised that fewer than 10 breaches were recorded during this time.
I am informed that the above information is based on a search of the PULSE database. Information is operational and subject to change.
Agriculture Schemes
Questions (567)
Jackie Cahill
Question:567. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to look into introducing an item created by a young entrepreneur (details supplied) as a qualifying item under TAMS; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24608/24]
View answerWritten answers
The Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3) is a demand led scheme with significant budgetary constraints. As a result, it is not possible to consider adding additional items such as a portable cover for slurry pit manholes to the comprehensive list of investment items already available under TAMS at this time.
However, such investment items may be included for consideration when evaluating further updates to the TAMS 3 investment lists.
I will ensure that the list of investment items will continue to be reviewed on a regular basis. The inclusion of further investment categories will, of course, be dependent on the availability of the required funding under the TAMS 3 schemes.

On International Women’s Day in March 2021, my Department launched an "Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Workplace" eLearning programme for all staff. This course aims to provide staff with an outline of why diversity, equality and inclusion are fundamental to my Department, and how we can build on our strengths and address our weaknesses in making this a reality in our workplace. This eLearning programme addresses various aspects of equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace, including diversity, dignity, unconscious bias, stereotyping, harassment, and discrimination. The company provider for this eLearning resource was Aurion Learning and the cost was in the region of €10,500.
OneLearning, the Civil Service Learning and Development Centre established under Civil Service Renewal, provides access for civil servants to a range of formal learning opportunities, including courses that address unconscious bias.
The "Equality and Human Rights: Understanding Your Role" course is designed to increase staff awareness of Human Rights, Equity, Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) and the Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty or Public Sector Duty, in a Civil Service context. Content is included on Raising Self Awareness, and on how to identify Blind Spots and Unconscious Bias. The cost per participant is €100.
The "Managing for an Inclusive Workforce" course has been designed to provide people managers with the skills to role-model the behaviour, understanding and application of the various ED&I tools. Content is included on how to identify ways to overcome the barriers to inclusion within and across teams, including bias. The cost per participant is €65.
Participation in these training programmes is voluntary. My Department continues to develop a culture of learning across the organisation. Staff are encouraged to engage with the many learning and development opportunities, and interventions available to them to fulfil business objectives, and to develop their own potential.
In May 2022, my Department launched an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Advocacy team. The mission of the team, which has broad representation across my Department, is to celebrate the diversity of our people and promote equality of opportunity and respect for diversity in all aspects of my Department’s business. The team works together to promote, champion and foster a work environment where our people are free to be their authentic selves, be creative, thrive and flourish, while making a valuable contribution to my Department’s goals.

Last November, I introduced the Unharvested Crop Support Scheme to support growers who were unable to harvest their cereal crops due to wet weather. A condition of the scheme was that only barley, oats, wheat and rye that was declared by the applicant in their 2023 Basic Income Support for Sustainability (BISS) application, that remained unharvested on the closing date of the scheme, which was 24 November 2023, would be eligible for support.
Payments worth €1.665m were made to 236 eligible applicants under the Unharvested Crop Support Scheme. This targeted scheme was paid at a rate of €1,000 per hectare on up to 20 hectares.
Payments under the Scheme were made in January 2024 under Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1465 which provided for financial support from the EU Agricultural Reserve. As payments had to be made by 31st January 2024 as specified under the regulation, it is not possible to further extend the scheme at this time.
