The Department of Justice concluded direct provision contracts. Responsibility for direct provision has now been passed to the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. That Department has determined that €91 million of those contracts signed off by the Department of Justice were non-compliant. Who is going to be answerable in respect of those contracts? The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth representatives might say the contracts were signed before it got them. Ms McPhillips is saying her Department does not have the contracts any more and is not answering any questions on them.
