Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

We retain a company, QTS, to conduct inspections on our behalf and IPAS officials would also visit centres and conduct inspections. There is an intention that HIQA will become involved from later this year on a pilot basis in taking over the inspection function for international protection centres. We obviously do not have the same inspection regime for emergency accommodation. Hospitality providers that are providing emergency accommodation would not be subject to that formal inspection regime but we have an open ticketing system where residents or others can identify any concerns they have. If concerns are raised, and concerns or complaints are raised from time to time, we have that facility to send in inspectors and follow up on those complaints and we have done that.
