Over the course of last week, Deputy Bacik and many other Deputies in this House raised the really concerning situation in Mount Street, which is why I asked my Department to act and identify a location where people would have access to sanitation, showers, toilets, meals and services. We were able to provide them at the site in Crooksling. The earliest we were able to provide that was last Saturday and as soon as we were able to provide that, we did provide it and moved international protection applicants there. A significant amount of misinformation was provided on the day with regard to the services but let us be very clear. There are 15 toilets and six showers, more are being added at the moment and there is access to a safety net in terms of healthcare facilities and access to Crosscare in terms of wider facilities all being provided there at the moment.
