Mr. Noel Waters:

EROCs are emergency reception and orientation centres. That is of a different order to our direct provision centres with far more significant services available for them.

The first strand is already recognised as refugees and they are brought there for orientation after leaving the camps and before they are allocated accommodation throughout the country. The second strand, which is what I am speaking about, will, in the vast majority of cases, go through the process here and will be recognised as refugees very quickly, within eight to 12 weeks.
