Ms Oonagh McPhillips:
There was an emergency. In 2022 and 2023, the State was dealing with more than 100,000 people being accommodated, in IPAS centres and in centres for Ukrainian refugees, so it was an emergency that had to be dealt with. I think the team did a really good job in getting people accommodated, and it had to be done.
