For the information of people watching, I thank the witnesses for the schedule they circulated regarding the number of people in direct provision and asylum centres. We will note and publish this today. We asked for figures on the various lengths of stay and this relates to the 6,093 people in the centres, 289 of whom have been there for more than four years, 146 for more than five years, 65 for more than six years and 142 for more than seven years. I want to put that on the record for information purposes and we will circulate that schedule. I call Deputy Catherine Murphy.
