- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Integration and Refugee Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2023)
John Brady: I misread that. It is a 186% increase from 2019. Of those applications, would Mr. O'Sullivan have a percentage? What way does that break down in terms of people arriving from so-called safe countries versus-----
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Integration and Refugee Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2023)

John Brady: I see there is an additional €1 million allocated to deal with the appeals tribunal, and that is for ten additional staff. Is it correct that are 60 working there?
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Integration and Refugee Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2023)
John Brady: Yes. I have a final question. I know no two cases are the same when it gets to the appeals tribunal, but would Mr. O'Sullivan have a rough figure as to what would be the average in terms of the appeal process?
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Integration and Refugee Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2023)

- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Integration and Refugee Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2023)
John Brady: I welcome both groups. I commend the work done over the past 18 months and longer under enormous pressure. I commend everyone who has worked tirelessly in very difficult and challenging circumstances to provide accommodation, as best as possible. There have been some challenges and a lot of misdirection or no direction by the Government. There has been no coherent policy, as I see it....

- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Integration and Refugee Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2023)
John Brady: The Department is still working on the sites for phase 2. By the time procurement and everything is complete, we will not realistically achieve 700 units by the end of this year. Is that what Ms Baxter is saying?
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Integration and Refugee Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2023)
John Brady: How many sites are actively under consideration currently?
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Integration and Refugee Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2023)
John Brady: That is great. I know there have been real challenges around temporary accommodation. We have seen instances in recent weeks where communities have taken issue with the identification and selection of temporary accommodation. I absolutely know there are serious challenges and pressures involved. The Minister has alluded to poor communication with communities. I wish to talk a little...
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Integration and Refugee Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2023)
John Brady: Communication is key and I welcome the belated moves of the Minister and the Department to try to address some of those issues by taking on additional staff and so on. On site selection, is the decision to use particular premises based solely on availability? What work is done to identify particular challenges in an area, including a lack of school places or challenges around access to...

John Brady: I hope I will have the opportunity to come in again to expand on some of those issues. I know communities in parts of the country have been promised additional resources, including teachers and GPs, and none of it has materialised. I would like the chance to question some of that in a little more detail. I know that talks have taken place between the Port of Cork authority and...
