Ms Oonagh Buckley:

We are open to any recommendations that the committee may come up with. We will look at all available options. It is likely that a mixture of accommodation types is the right way to go. Seven of the centres we have at the moment are on State property but run privately on behalf of the Department. We would very much welcome more involvement by NGOs in the process so we are talking to some of them about providing accommodation, particularly for some more vulnerable persons.
