Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Direct Provision: Discussion with Ombudsman

Mr. Sean Garvey:

Yes, there is. We have online contact details. We bring those details with us and we display them at centres we visit. We get a relatively small number of complaints from residents via that source compared with the visits. One reason we have continued and expanded the visits programme is we find that is the means by which residents raise most of the issues. They can and do contact us through other mechanisms, which we bring those to residents' attention, but in practice, most of our complaints arise from direct contact with residents on our visits.
