Ceist:

169 Ms Fitzgerald asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason comprehensive discussion documents on the Government's treatment of asylum seekers and refugees have not been published; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26139/98]

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. O'Donoghue)

Work is under way in my Department on an overview document which will set out in detail Ireland's approach on asylum and immigration issues. I hope that this document can be published early next year.
