I apologise as I have been in and out of the Dáil Chamber and I have not been following all of the responses. Some of my questions may already have been answered. I will begin where the Chair and Deputy Catherine Murphy have left off. The briefing note provided for today in respect of emergency accommodation for those seeking international protection states that before the opening of any facility, the Department engages with local representatives to provide information as soon as possible following the agreement of terms with contractors. Does the Department now accept this is blatantly untrue?
