Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Congregated Settings: Direct Provision Centres

Ms Oonagh Buckley:

The official working for me who carried out the inspection on 18 September examined the premises in the context of a framework for procurement against which we work and which has certain minimum standards. With respect, we have to go with what is offered to us under the current model of acquisition and procurement of accommodation for direct provision. As I keep repeating, we are not happy with the current model and we would like to move away from it but we are not there yet.
