Congregated Settings: Direct Provision Centres

I want to clarify that I was not suggesting it would be random.
I am suggesting that if somebody is to move into a congregated setting, perhaps it should be examined whether he or she has been tested beforehand. I heard what Ms Buckley said about the Department's objections to asylum seekers being treated differently. I would argue that asylum seekers are being treated very differently in many respects. On that note, I wish to ask for specific numbers, starting with the number of residents currently sharing bedrooms with non-family members.
