However, this entirely hinges on the centres. If the only distinction made between new arrivals and those currently here hinges on the designated centres, that is flimsy and assumes that everything will go in terms of plain sailing and finding new accommodation centres, even though we have no indication of where and what these will be and what capacity they will have. We just have to take it on trust that the Minister, Deputy O’Gorman, will find them. In addition, we are to assume that in no circumstances will somebody who arrived before the date end up in these designated centres and that no person who arrives after the date will end up in a previous centre, even though capacity might exist.
