Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

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

Ms Oonagh Buckley:

We have not been in a position to rule out appropriate accommodation on the grounds of remoteness in the last while because we need to expand our numbers of beds. There are standards in place to ensure there are available connections to bring people into local communities.
