Will the Minister provide further information on the timeline? We would all welcome that there needs to be a move away from the private sector. Some of the locations have been utterly unsuitable for all. It is fair to say we have to do whatever we can to look after people who are fleeing dreadful sets of circumstances and the rest of it. However, we need to get a system that works and that is sustainable. That also means improving processing times. The Taoiseach and others have used that term. When that happens it reduces the numbers coming. Everything is exacerbated by the accommodation crisis and the huge number of people seeking temporary protection before we had a spike in international protection. There is a need to get this piece done as quickly as possible.
