I find it strange because the Department does not need Twitter to tell officials the views of many people in respect of the direct provision system. They have heard the views at numerous committees in the House and from the floor of the Dáil. There is a well-established public position relating to the utilisation of private companies to provide accommodation to the most vulnerable people who happen to be in our country. There are certainly areas where every Department would probably benefit from hearing messages on social media, but the message has been given loud and clear from all these people.

I will move on from that a little. We have an EO carrying out media monitoring and social media monitoring.
