I welcome Mr. O'Driscoll and Ms McPhillips. I will start with direct provision and asylum seekers, albeit a lot of the questions have been asked already. There are just some issues I wanted to have clarified. There are a lot of myths around asylum seekers as I am sure the witnesses are aware. What exactly is direct provision in the sense of what it entitles a person to? What is directly provided for and what is the weekly subsistence rate a person in a direct provision centre gets?
