Maybe that is something we can consider for our report, Chairman.

I am sure that everyone will agree that the accommodation is entirely unsuitable for a prolonged length of time. We are dealing with people who require accommodation for prolonged lengths of time no matter what happens, whether it is through the administrative process and subsequent judicial review or otherwise. What does the Ombudsman suggest should be the accommodation available for a person who arrives at Dublin Airport at 5.30 p.m. this evening and seeks international protection?
