I have said this previously. Officials in the Department of children are working extremely hard, as we all know. We know this is a difficult situation and there are challenges. They have said they will make accommodation available in these designated centres for new applicants, who will then receive a reduced amount. They will stay there for 90 days and then they will have options to decide what they want to do themselves. Do they want to leave the accommodation and find accommodation or do they want to return home? People have to take responsibility for themselves as well in some respect.
