All politicians, as I said. I refer to Mr. Tyndall's opening statement, which included a couple of requests for the committee. I would like to put them formally to allow the committee to support them in future. They were touched on earlier by previous speakers. On the examination of complaints about the asylum process, does he believe his remit should be extended to include the process? I ask the committee respectfully to support that extension. It appears from previous speakers that the committee agrees but we need to move the proposal formally.

In the final paragraph, Mr. Tyndall calls on "the Minister for Justice and Equality to ensure that RIA is adequately resourced to fulfil its obligations under the Directive [the EU recast reception conditions directive] so that the current practice of accommodating people in entirely unsuitable emergency settings quickly becomes a thing of the past". I think this should be formally placed before the committee at some stage in order that it may be dealt with.

I would like to ask some questions about the existing system. Some of them have been dealt with already in response to other speakers. Mr. Garvey said that the existing or established reception centres should have play areas for children and stuff like that.
