The Minister of State spoke of people coming in to Ireland and going immediately into the community. That sounds great and it is good if it happens. However, is it not the case that we will have a need for some sort of entity like direct provision for a long time yet? The direct provision that we have was never meant to be as permanent as it has become. Has there been consideration at Government level to doing things differently given the level of negative publicity around direct provision which has been found to be lacking in many ways?
