Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Asylum Seekers (17 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: Following on from the Minister's previous reply, my question is in regard to what will be the extent of the HIQA inspections that are to be carried out before Christmas and how many of the centres will be inspected. In the meantime, I want to know what staff are Garda vetted, whether they have any child protection training and whether there have been reports of assaults in those places....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Asylum Seekers (17 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister for the reply but the devil is in the detail. Does the Minister know how many pilot schemes will be rolled out before Christmas? I know the Minister mentioned unannounced inspections but when does he propose that all of the centres, which are in effect permanent, will be subject to regular HIQA inspections or when will they all have been inspected? The Minister said...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Asylum Seekers (17 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: The particular concern is about minors, young people and those who are of disputed age, some of whom may have serious medical and physical conditions.

Are all unaccompanied minors given a social worker or placed in local authority care when they are in the centres? The staff...

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister for the reply. We welcome the not-for-profit approach recommended in the White Paper and will give the Minister every support in trying to move to that model.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: International Protection (17 Nov 2022)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister. Our obligation to vulnerable people does not change. I know that some of these centres were temporary rather than permanent but some temporary centres have been in operation for four years. It is clear that many people will be in these centres for a long time. I was glad to hear the other day that people who are living in tents in the Tralee area will be moved. I am...

Fire services are understaffed to dangerous levels and experienced...
