I propose to take Questions Nos. 878 and 879 together.
The International Protection Office (IPO) of my Department is responsible for examining all international protection applications received. The staff of the IPO (the Chief International Protection Officer and the International Protection Officers) are independent by law in the exercise of their international protection functions.
It is not possible to provide the Deputy with the information requested regarding the number of single male applicants who were granted an international protection status, and subsequently requested family reunification, as my Department does not maintain statistics in this manner.
Question No. 879 answered with Question No. 878.
