I want to ask the Minister about the direct provision centre in Cahirciveen. I appreciate that Deputy Niamh Smith asked a similar question. I ask the Minister to be concise, if he can. Seeing as this centre was sanctioned by the Department of Justice and Equality against and without the approval of the HSE or the Department of Health, will the Minister now close that centre and move these people to a safer place? All the world heard them crying out the windows and through a locked gate last night to take them out of that centre to preserve their health and sanity. That would also preserve those things for the people of Cahirciveen who have been greatly upset by this direct provision centre in the town which puts their lives and health in jeopardy. Will the Minister close the centre down and take those people out of there?
