Committee on Public Petitions

Direct Provision Policy and Related Matters: Discussion

Mr. Nick Henderson:

I thank everybody for their interest and I ask the committee to remain engaged with us. It is building a good track record of witnesses, expertise and knowledge. The really hard work is ahead of us. At present, the one exceptional thing we have is there seems to be very broad agreement on the need for change, when previously it was about whether we should change or not. As we are now agreed on the need for change, let us move towards it.
