Before the Minister responds to that, she might answer something related to the Deputy's question. I presume this will apply to every person who has been granted refugee status who is now in a designated centre and not just to one nationality. Unfortunately, we have quite a lot of protection applicants who have been granted refugee status but who, because of a lack of accommodation, are stuck within the asylum accommodation system, meaning they are in some of these designated centres. I want to clarify whether this relates not just to one nationality and is across the board in relation to all refugees who are in accommodation centres provided by the State.
