Committee on Public Petitions

Safety and Welfare of Children in Direct Provision Report: Discussion

Dr. Niall Muldoon:

It was tense, for a period, but we have got to a situation in the past year in which we have engaged positively. They have taken on board the concerns we had. They have accepted our recommendations and are working towards changing the things that needed to be changed. The vulnerability assessments that have been done will be hugely important for us to understand what flaws were there before. The last time I heard, approximately 350 assessments have been done since January. That will give us an insight into the number of things which were not done for the past 21 years and we will get a sense from that.
