Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

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

Ms Oonagh Buckley:

It does not matter what we call it. I know, as another member mentioned, that people have lost any faith in the term "direct provision". That is the feedback I get from my friends and family. I was struck, in reading the submissions to the committee from the NGOs, that all of them agree that accommodation must be provided and State services offered, at least for a period. Whatever we call the process, whether direct provision or something else-----
