Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Direct Provision: Discussion with Ombudsman

Mr. Peter Tyndall:

Most asylum seekers went through Balseskin, which was where they were initially assessed, and issues such as access to the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection were dealt with. With more and more people going into emergency accommodation, some of those arrangements have been proving problematic. We have been working with people in the emergency services and some of our work has particularly focused on that. Mr. Garvey might discuss that.
