Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Direct Provision: Discussion with Ombudsman
Niall Ó Donnghaile (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
From our perspective we are trying to generate a bit more light than heat. That is why we are very keen to tease out some of the minutiae of the issue.
Mr. Tyndall can tell me if it does not fall within his remit, but I am keen to get his view on people in emergency accommodation being relocated at short notice. We have heard of some instances where people staying in hotels have been put onto buses and sent halfway across the country to facilitate an outstanding booking in a hotel being used as emergency accommodation. Has that been raised with the Ombudsman's office? What are Mr. Tyndall's observations and thoughts on it? I add the caveat that it might not fall within his office's remit.
