Direct Provision and the International Protection Application Process: Discussion (Resumed)
Martin Conway (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Not all of the system is wrong; there are very good elements of it, and we saw examples of that last Friday when we went on a field trip.
Since last September, we are now in the situation where an emergency accommodation structure is in place. What are the financial arrangements between RIA and the providers of these emergency accommodation beds? I do not mean the direct provision beds but the emergency accommodation beds. What protocols are in place to ensure basis standards in the emergency accommodation? I am trying to understand how the arrangements with the emergency accommodation providers are different from those with the more established direct provision centres.
