Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Direct Provision and the International Protection Application Process: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Oonagh Buckley:
We are fully aware that is a complaint. We are working hard to try to alleviate some of that through standards that will be brought in which will require better facilities on site, the requirement to introduce connectivity and also through setting up organisations like friends of the centres so people are integrated more directly with local communities and NGOs. That has been quite a successful endeavour for each of the direct provision centres.
