Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Direct Provision and the International Protection Application Process: Discussion
Mr. Justice Bryan McMahon:
It has definitely improved. It has dramatically improved.
As I have said, I visited two reception centres in the past month. I was told by the managers that the right to work and the increased allowance had made a huge difference to the morale of the people in the system. They also said that the processing time had shortened. In fairness to everyone involved, if there is a better model out there, someone should research, cost and produce it. I do not see it at the moment.
