Mr. Nick Henderson:

Under the directive, that person would have the right of appeal against any decision of the Reception and Integration Agency to withdraw accommodation and there would need to be a reasoned decision as to why it was withdrawn in order that there would be some form of accountability. Again, we do not know what that will look like because we have not seen of the content of the instrument. We have also worked with somebody in a similar situation more recently. This person was living in a direct provision centre in Cork, studying in Dublin and pursuing education while waiting for a decision on an asylum application and who received similar correspondence. There are other categories of people such as those who do not enter direct provision possibly because they are reliant on a family member or friend and that situation falls through, as well as those in direct provision who for some reason, leave - possibly to stay with a family member or friend - and that also falls through. We encounter great difficulty in getting those people back into direct provision.
