Direct Provision and the International Protection Application Process: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Tina Ndlovu:

In terms of the food halls, there is a perspective that Mosney, where I live, is the best direct provision centre in the country. That argument can be made because everybody there cooks for themselves and there are playgrounds for the children. Whenever direction provision is discussed, there is a concentration on Mosney but no mention of Monaghan, for instance, where the playgrounds have been closed, or Kinsale, where residents are not allowed to cook. We are asking for focus to be placed on those other centres rather than just advertising Mosney as the good place out of the whole system.
