Here is the difficulty I have with direct provision. The majority of direct provision centres are privately run, so I presume a public official or civil servant would not be the manager of a particular facility. It will be someone employed by a private company and a person would have to go through this individual before he or she would be allowed to access the Ombudsman. We need to look at that.
