Mr. Nick Henderson:

I will come back in on the Covid point. I have checked that out. There was a report from HIQA in March which provided thorough data. I got the information slightly wrong. The Travelling community, followed by the Roma community and direct provision centres were the sites with the highest rates of infection. The 670 cases in direct provision centres represented an 8.1% infection rate and a 2.8% hospitalisation rate. The report stated: "Residents and staff of accommodation centres for international protection applicants and programme refugees presented with an increased risk of infection, but comparable rates of severe disease relative to the general population." We published the Powerless report on Covid and direct provision in August. The main feedback from that report was that people could not socially distance themselves and felt powerless to control their circumstances. Where I or the committee members can work from home and shut the door, people in all congregated settings cannot do that.
