- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 24 - Justice and Equality (4 Apr 2019) Shane Cassells: Let us consider the Department believed it to be only a short-term measure prior to Christmas because it had anticipated housing people in direct provision centres. Were these figures anticipated? Are they scheduled costs for the Department? If that was the cost in the first quarter of the year, potentially, it will cost between €12 million and €14 million more to provide...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 24 - Justice and Equality (4 Apr 2019) Shane Cassells: I go back to the comments made about identified properties. We see the challenge the Department is facing. Mr. Wilson said using hotel accommodation was a short-term solution. That was in September and already the numbers are growing. Owing to the challenges being faced by the Department, my fear is that it will become a long-term solution. From January to March, the cost was €3.4...

Vote 24 - Justice and Equality (4 Apr 2019) Shane Cassells: On the 38 properties, will the Secretary General outline the hierarchy in terms of size? What are the top three in terms of capacity? Is there a limit on the size of centres in order that capacity will not exceed X amount?

Vote 24 - Justice and Equality (4 Apr 2019) Shane Cassells: Mr. Wilson mentioned Mosney. That hits the top and it is well above average. What year was Mosney acquired and opened? The campus is significant in size. When was it acquired and when did the facility open?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 24 - Justice and Equality (4 Apr 2019) Shane Cassells: The Secretary General mentioned the pressures the Department is under. Is the policy to replicate the size that Mosney offers? What is the policy in that respect? Numerous human rights issues have been expressed about Mosney.

Vote 24 - Justice and Equality (4 Apr 2019) Shane Cassells: There is no policy in terms of the Department being open to any proposals put forward. Is that the case? The Department would not take the view that a centre with a capacity of 600 is too much. Concerns have been expressed previously on human rights issues at Mosney.

Vote 24 - Justice and Equality (4 Apr 2019) Shane Cassells: That is fine. I am going to drill down into the detail that. This revolves around what we interpret in terms of whether people should be able to have washing and cooking facilities or the security of a front door in their own area as opposed to a central area. We raised these issues during previous meetings of the Committee of Public Accounts. We will raise it again. I come from Meath....
