Ms Emily Logan:

We have included that in our statement. As far as we know, there has not been any research or work done on the skill set of the cohort of asylum seeks to which we are referring in order to help them to transition. That is a legitimate piece of work that needs to be done in order to understand what kind of help people need. The State, as primary duty bearer, has made a decision for the last 18 years to warehouse people in direct provision so it is legitimate that it would accept the responsibility for transitioning and assisting people out of the system.
