Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I will make a point to guide our passage through the remainder of this discussion, which is meant to be on the Supplementary Estimate. The points relating to asylum accommodation are absolutely valid because the matter is part of the provision, and I underlined it in the Minister's opening address. Does Deputy Wallace have further questions pertinent to the Supplementary Estimate?

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: That is no comfort at all to those who find themselves in such centres for inordinate periods. We could all agree that there is some toleration for short-stay needs but it is completely and wholly inappropriate for long stays. I ask that, on behalf of the committee, that the Minister explores the issue that I have indicated. The issue was brought to my attention and I have only recently...

I ask him to relook at the reply and properly inform himself because I do not doubt that, he is not aware of what may be the methodology employed in this instance, but I want him to know and to be across it. I would appreciate if he would reply to us because, bad and all as the situation has been...
