Mr. Lucky Khambule:

I am that person. I left direct provision in 2016 and it is a tough transition. I had that first-hand experience. We first had to look for a house and it is very hard to find one. One must get on with one's life. We do not know which direction we have to take. There was a lack of support while I was in direct provision to set me up to succeed as quickly as possible in Irish society. I did not have a problem with language but if a person has a problem with language, how could he or she stay in direct provision for five years and then move on with no support? There is not much transition support to help people leave. I found a place of my own and although my activities are in Dublin, I had to go all the way to Wicklow to find a place. Fortunately, I work as well. My life is on the positive side but it is a very hard transition.
