Update on Direct Provision: The Ombudsman
Brendan Griffin (Kerry, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I am in the five storey block on the Leinster House campus. I thank Mr. Tyndall for his contribution and the work he does. What are his views on location, or should I say geographic dislocation? What does he think is unacceptable in respect of where direct provision centres are located? There was quite a high-profile example in Kerry last year. Varying views were expressed by people on that case. One thing that struck me most was the distance involved when it came to proximity to services and the availability of the various supports that one would expect would be available to residents in direct provision centres. Does Mr. Tyndall have any views on which locations are suitable geographically and which are not?
