The Government made the important commitment to end direct provision and the situation in Ukraine and other world crises impact that. One of the biggest direct provision centres is in my area in Clondalkin. It is there a long time and the families are part of our community at this stage. They play on the local football team and go to school with my kids and other children in the area.

One of the biggest issues we have is people who have the right to remain but cannot exit direct provision. For example, people in homeless hubs will get key workers in and people to help them exit that. Do people in direct provision who have the right to remain get those housing supports and people to help them through the housing assistance payment, HAP, or homeless HAP situation, whatever it might be?
