Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:
Some of my colleagues are far more expert than I and they should feel free to correct me. Mosney is unusual in that it is both an accommodation centre for asylum seekers – what is known as a direct provision centre – and also an emergency reception and orientation centre, EROC, a place where we put refugees for the initial period of adjustment. When they arrive first, they go to a centre and then they move on within a period of months to permanent housing. Mosney has both. Maybe that is what the note is referring to.
