I propose to take Questions Nos. 72 and 73 together.
In my response to Parliamentary Question No. 85 of 24 May, 2016 I undertook to provide the Deputy with an update on the position in relation to each of the recommendations of the Working Group on the Protection Process including Direct Provision and Supports to Asylum Seekers (the McMahon Report). A table detailing the status of each of the 173 recommendation in the Working Group Report was forwarded to the Deputy on 16 June last. This report showed that currently 91 recommendations are implemented, 49 are partially implemented or in progress, and the remaining 33 remain under consideration. This represents significant progress in taking forward the Working Group recommendations with 80% now implemented, partially implemented or in progress. My Department continues to actively co-ordinate implementation.
The status update has recently been published on my Department's website and on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service.
