Jim O’Callaghan discusses new asylum legislation

New proposed asylum legislation would see the processing time for asylum seekers reduced from 18 months to just three months if passed. The Minister for Justice is seeking approval to progress legislation to address processing times. It would also restrict hearings and see the introduction of a new state body with responsibility for appeals. Officers will be given new powers to issue deportations without sign off from the Minister also. Minister for Justice, Jim O'Callaghan, joins Kieran to discuss.
