Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Direct Provision Centres

The letter stated there is clear evidence that some residents are not following the public health recommendations and because social distancing is not being followed by everybody, the lockdown has to be extended for 14 further days. That sounds like they are being blamed for their own plight. I repeat to the witnesses that these centres are totally inadequate for the purposes of self-isolation and social distancing, particularly during this crisis. If anything, it has exposed the horrors and inhumanity of direct provision in a sharp way. Who is the author of that letter to the residents?
