I commend the gallery in regard to those on direct provision. Direct provision is one of the greatest scandals of our time. It is hard to imagine someone being on €19.50 a week with no access to cultural participation. One could not afford an instrument or membership of a club. Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell mentioned how we participate in cultural life. What the Crawford is doing certainly should be commended.
