Mr. Nick Henderson:

I do not have much more to add and I am conscious of what the Chairman said. This is an opportunity to level up for all and, if we are going to make changes, to make them for everyone who is seeking protection. I have been clear on this point and do not want to labour it too much.

Regarding the Deputy's first point, and as my colleague stated, good communication can mitigate some of the anguish that a short notice removal can create. If children and their parents who are in a temporary accommodation space will be moving to medium or longer term accommodation at a future date, and if the children are in school and will have to leave that school and go to a different one in future, telling them may mitigate some of the anguish that this will create.

I will make two additional points. I hate to say it, but this phenomenon is not new to us as an organisation in the context of direct provision. It happens frequently. It will always exist, particularly if we are not getting on top of accommodation issues. As has been evident over recent days, there are real and challenging issues with the provision of accommodation. Short notice movements are a symptom of the State always looking for accommodation because there is a shortage.
