I appreciate Mr. Heylin cannot challenge Government policy on this. In terms of the Department's responsibility to this plan, if we are to implement the objectives of this plan, the direct-provision centre environment is not appropriate to support women and children adequately. It strikes me that we are not really serious about this plan if we insist on having women and children live in those environments.
