Committee on Public Petitions
Update on Direct Provision: The Ombudsman
Mr. Peter Tyndall:
That is difficult because it takes me into some policy areas. We try to be evidenced-based, based on the complaints. The White Paper, to be fair, addressed most of the concerns we had, so our principal issue at this stage is making sure that the provisions of the White Paper are implemented, particularly around the own-door accommodation, the access to work and so on. In general, it addresses most of the concerns that we have been looking at. In a sense, we will be happy when that is implemented and then, in the course of our time looking at the implementation, if other issues arise, we will bring them up.
