I am trying to figure out what is going on. Another Department appeared before us lately and told us that applicants got a letter saying they had to leave the State. If applicants are in direct provision or accommodation under Mr. Delaney's Department, do they not receive a letter telling them to leave the State? Is there any monitoring of whether they leave? If someone has gone through the appeals process and been refused, it means they do not have a case. I preface this by saying that those who have a case must be helped. If there are more than 100 applicants who have received negative decisions, it means there are 100 genuine people who may not have any accommodation and are sleeping in one of those tents that we can see from the top of this building. That is the problem we are coming up against. Why is there no joined-up thinking between the Department of Justice and the witnesses' Department in terms of enforcing these decisions? Who is there? Are the decisions not being enforced?
