Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Direct Provision and the International Protection Application Process: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Nick Henderson:
It may choose to build accommodation, procure and purchase it or engage with approved housing bodies to develop existing accommodation they may have or for those bodies to buy or convert accommodation they have available. The approach may be to have more groups of people in fewer congregations. The smallest centre has 60 or 70 people, which is problematic based on our experience of working with organisations.
