Mr. Joe Keaney of the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner, Ms. Rhea Bohan of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Services, and Ms. Maria Cassidy gave presentations on the current asylum procedure and changes in the process for protection applicants arising from the Immigration, Residency and Protection Bill 2008. JRS staff and volunteers were in attendance as well as participants from the Mission Office, Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice, Slí Eile and the Province Curia.
